The Shark Is Still Working: A JAWS Documentary
As part of Amity Homecoming Weekend, the Martha’s Vineyard Museum invites you to dive deeper into the enduring legacy of Jaws with a special screening of the acclaimed documentary The Shark Is Still Working.
Narrated by Roy Scheider, this behind-the-scenes retrospective explores how a troubled production on Martha’s Vineyard became one of the most iconic films of all time. Through rare footage, candid interviews, and insider stories from cast and crew, the film reveals the ingenuity, chaos, and sheer determination that brought the original blockbuster to life.
For Islanders and visitors alike, this is more than a documentary—it’s a return to the waters, streets, and stories that transformed the Vineyard into “Amity.” Whether you’ve seen Jaws a dozen times or are discovering its legacy anew, this screening offers a fresh perspective on the film that changed summer—and cinema—forever.
Come experience the story behind the story… and discover why the shark is still working.
