This movie was set around the 1915 - 16. It was about a white pointer shark that swam up river and was attacking people. Apparently I believe it was based on a true story. I think it was in the USA it happened.

Could it be this one perhaps?

12 Days of Terror (2004) (TV) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373653/)

(Man, that took some googling!)

Thank you so much "IamfromHuntersbar" that is the correct movie. Thanks Heaps
