The grandson of Jacques Yves Cousteau presents an unprecedented look at the life of the great white shark in the new special SHARK: MIND OF A DEMON WITH FABIEN COUSTEAU, airing Wednesday, June 28 at 8PM.

Believing that the great white shark was much maligned and misunderstood, Fabien Cousteau decided to dispel those beliefs by becoming a shark himself. With a team that includes his sister, Celine, Peter Brown, a dedicated environmental activist, Mark Marks, a biologist and shark expert and stuntman/designer Eddie Paul, he built a shark submersible that looks, acts and moves like a shark.

  Filming took place over a two-year period in the deep waters off Isla Guadalupe, on the Pacific coast of Mexico, where the team launched their mechanical shark. Inside it, Cousteau was able to be next to great white sharks in the most treacherous waters imaginable: their favorite feeding ground. In this remarkable experiment, Fabien Cousteau takes adventure and exploration to the edge of disaster, but comes away with a journey of exploration his grandfather would have been proud of, 50 years after Jacques Yves Cousteau's own first network television special.
