Conservationist, filmmaker, activist, delinquent – 20-year-old Madison Stewart has been called many things, but to her friends she’s simply 'shark girl'. There's no doubt that sharks have a bad reputation. But these beautiful creatures need our protection.

'Sharkoween' is approaching fast, with our screening of new doc Shark Girl on October 30. Can't wait until then? We've compiled a list of shark-themed films that we hope you can really sink your teeth into:

Our Wild films cover an array of topics and subjects, but they all have a common thread - they inspire us to protect our planet, to preserve our wilderness. In short, to Keep It Wild.
