Somizi, Sharks and something for everyone on DStv this week

14 July is Shark Awareness day. Unfortunately, as frightening and fascinating as we find sharks, humans are more of a threat to them than they are to us (statistically speaking obviously, not in a head-to-head situation). In the week of 10 to 16 July, DStv has a collection of shark viewing ranging from a jaw-dropping line-up of world-class documentaries to a whole lot of horror-indulgent shark-themed movies to ensure the adventurer in all of us is satisfied.

Documentaries include Shark vs. Surfer and World’s Biggest Tiger Shark. Guilty pleasure movies include 5-Headed Shark Attack, Empire of The Sharks and Jersey Shore Shark Attack – be sure to stay tuned to Studio Universal and Nat Geo Wild this week for all the deep-sea action!

Luckily, sharks aren’t the only big catch this week, here are some other highlights on DStv:

The adapted name of the series is complemented with a brand-new cast of new, young actors.
