Their religion teaches
that the sea washes the bodies

:01:05
and frees them from sin.
:01:08
Only during the day are these
waters empty and still.

:01:12
At night, the sharks
rush in to perpetrate

:01:17
their devastating action.
:01:19
They only leave the bones,
which the friends

:01:22
and families of the dead
arrange, with macabre pity,

:01:25
among the bizarre
coral branches.

:01:29
ln these waters, the sharks
of the Malay coast learned

:01:32
how to feed on human flesh
:01:35
and become man eaters.
:02:04
Catching man eaters is
the only resource in Raiputh,

:02:09
a village on the Malay coast.
:02:12
Fishermen who were disabled
by the sharks' bites

:02:15
pile up in the sun
dried fins on the beach.

:02:19
They will sell them
to rich Chinese communities,

:02:22
where they are thought to have
a strong aphrodisiac power.

:02:29
Every day in Raiputh,
a fisherman doesn't come back,

:02:33
or returns in this condition.
:02:53
But the village is poor and the
Chinese pay well for their vice.

:02:58
So the sacrifice goes on.
