Jaws Movie. 1975. Directed by Steven Spielberg
Description
Jaws is an American "horror" film series that aired for the first movie in 1975 and has expanded to other 3 sequels, a theme park ride, and many more thanks to the entertainment industry.
The impact that this movie's release in 1975 had on society goes beyond the big screen and its revenue: the shark and ray population has seen an epic decrease of 71% with around 100 million sharks killed each year. The movie, although fictional, held the power to demonize sharks and also incite curiosity in marine biologists to research more about these misunderstood beings with the aim of preserving them.
Another perspective we must look at: "It’s a call to action for us to channel our love for thrilling tales into nurturing a deeper appreciation for the natural world." - Tanner Saul (2023)
