‘Caleb: Beyond the Bite’ Wins Gold at International Tourism Film Festival Africa! - Good Things Guy

"Caleb: Beyond the Bite" transcends the typical conservation narrative to weave a rich, emotional tapestry about a man's reconciliation with the sea and its misunderstood denizens. Honored with a Gold award at the International Tourism Film Festival Africa, the film chronicles Caleb Swanepoel, a para-athlete whose life was irrevocably altered by a shark bite, as he confronts his past and seeks to shift the narrative around these maligned creatures. In Swanepoel's words, "Being part of the project and a team that's having an impact and changing the narrative around sharks is a real privilege." Through his journey, the film casts a spotlight not only on personal transformation but also on the urgent need for empathy and understanding in wildlife conservation, challenging viewers to reconsider fear-driven perceptions. Themes of resilience and the profound interconnectedness of life ripple through the narrative, inviting viewers to imagine new possibilities for coexistence.
