Like many people around the world, English documentary-maker Nick Stringer was fascinated by the story of dolphins saving New Zealand lifeguards from a shark attack. Now Mr. Stringer and a four-man film crew from Big Wave Productions have filmed a documentary-drama about the story for the BBCâs Natural World series. The rescue made world headlines in November, 2004, when seven dolphins surrounded a group of lifeguards and slapped the water with their tails for 40 minutes to frighten off a circling three metre great white shark.
