Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Robert Requejo Ramos, on air from December 6th
An absolute maelstrom of energy will pull viewers in as they watch the exhilarating documentary feature, SOUTH BEACH SHARK CLUB.
Locked and loaded with an intoxicating mix of colorful characters, unmatched archival footage, and thrilling shark fishing footage on par with anything shark week has to offer viewers.
But at the heart of this beautifully directed and edited film from Robert Requejo Ramos is a powerful never-before-told story of a bygone era on Miami Beach. A time and place inhabited by surfers and skaters, a diverse culture of young Cuban immigrants, a vibrant Jewish population, and other communities that form a unique mosaic exclusive to the region.
Garnering critical and audience praise, the World premiere of SOUTH BEACH SHARK CLUB was screened to sold-out audiences at the 2022 Miami International Film Festival, where it received the Documentary Achievement Award.
Now, SOUTH BEACH SHARK CLUB is set to sink its teeth into ravenous documentary audiences at the prestigious DOC NYC, the United States’most important documentary film festival. The film made its New York premiere on November 13th at the Cinepolis Chelsea Cinemas, with director Robert Requejo Ramos and producer Pedro Gomez in attendance.
Before Miami’s South Beach became a glamorous party hub, a group of local outcasts in the club one-upped each other in an ongoing quest for the next big catch. Starting as reckless teens, Rene de Dios, JD “Jimbo” Hammer, and Shannon “Seaweed Jr.” Bustamante paddle into the deep ocean, with bloody bait in tow, to lure the ultimate prey: shark. With a lifetime of exploring Florida’s shores behind them, these colorful rogues guide a new generation into the world of sustainable sport fishing. – Courtesy Brandon Harrison, DOC NYC.

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Janet Sanders, on air from November 8th
Is it safe for Americans to move to Mexico or even vacation there?
“The answer is “Absolutely not,” says Janet Sanders, a successful, retired American businesswoman who moved to Yucatan in 2016 with her husband, Joe. On October 9, 2021, and again on January 19, 2022, the couple was attacked and terrorized at their home by a mob aided and abetted by Mexican police.
On January 19, a group of approximately 40 thugs armed with machetes and guns attacked the home of Janet and Joe, holding them hostage for 22 hours. Under the direction of a son of the area’s Police Comandante, the mob destroyed the home’s electrical and water system and the couple’s computers and related equipment. Several police officers were on hand; they just stood by and watched.
Total losses from the rampage are almost a quarter of a million dollars. This was all part of a violent intimidation campaign to force them to leave their beautiful home. Fearing for their lives, Janet and Joe did so after the second attack.
Now, Janet Sanders is fighting back.
She and her husband have petitioned the Governor of Yucatan to commission an investigation of the police and all other officials involved in fomenting this crime. Janet has contacted U.S. officials as well. Her evidence includes photos, videos, signed legal documents, and Mexican government-issued findings.
