Movie Details
Synopsis Riding the Sardine Run tells the story of a group of surfers chasing waves along a remote stretch of South African coastline during the annual sardine run. Also known as The Greatest Shoal on Earth, the sardine run is the largest marine wildlife migration on the planet and sees billions of these tiny fish travelling up the east coast of South Africa as thousands of hungry sharks, dolphins, whales and seabirds give chase. The journey starts amongst the kelp forests of Cape Town and takes us past Jeffreys Bay, along the cliff-lined Wild Coast and finally on to the sub-tropical barrels of KwaZulu-Natal. Along the way we learn what drives this incredible natural phenomenon and join the surfers on a wild adventure as they go off the grid hunting for perfect waves - all while trying to avoid the huge predators that follow these fish.
