This year marks the 50th anniversary of "Jaws," Steven Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster about a ravenous great white shark. The film packed theaters and terrified audiences, leaving behind a lasting fear of sharks. While many Americans are terrified of them, shark attacks are relatively rare and the species is widely misunderstood. PBS News Hour's William Brangham spoke to the Living Sharks Museum's Keith Cowley to learn more about sharks and dispel common misconceptions. | PBS NewsHour

To many supporters, Leonard Peltier was a political prisoner unjustly punished for his activism with the American Indian Movement. To his critics, he is a remorseless killer of two FBI agents in 1975, a charge he denies. President Biden commuted Peltier’s sentence, restricting him to home confinement. Fred de Sam Lazaro spoke with Peltier on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in North Dakota. | PBS NewsHour
