Description
Episode Description
"SHADOWS IN A DESERT SEA A new film on the Sea of Cortez from award-winning filmmaker Howard Hall. Howard's SHADOWS is a masterpiece, a journey into the unknown, a trip to the 'Twilight Zone' of the sea. The film features hammerhead sharks by the hundreds, 20 foot manta rays, six-foot Humboldt squid snatching prey with their tentacles in the dark of night, and the largest fish in the world -- the whale shark. The stunning cinematography is accompanied by an outstanding original score. "This film deserves Peabody for its extraordinary underwater photography and for a fascinating story of strange and wonderful creatures."-- 1992 Peabody Awards entry form.
