It was the deadliest string of shark attacks the world has ever seen. In 2011, sharks in Réunion, a beautiful island, way out in the Indian Ocean started biting people way more than ever before and with lunatic violence.

Réunion: Shark Attacks in Paradise is the story of what happened on this beautiful island, and t ...
