Editorial Reviews

He risked his life to savethe most threatened species in the worldProductInformationSharkwater is a true-life adventure in which biologist and filmmakerRob Stewart brings us closer to sharks then ever before.  Forhim exploring sharks began as an underwater adventure and turned intoa beautiful and dangerous life journey into the balance of life onearth.  Driven by passion fed from a lifelong fascination withsharks Stewart debunks historical stereotypes and media depictions ofsharks as bloodthirsty man-eating monsters and reveals the reality ofsharks as pillars in the evolution of the seas.Filmed in visually stunning high definition video Sharkwater takesyou into the most shark-rich waters of the world exposing theexploitation and corruption surrounding the world's shark populationsin the marine reserves of Cocos Island Costa Rica and the GalapagosIslands Ecuador.  In an effort to protect the sharks Stewartteams up with renegade conservationist Paul Watson of the Sea ShepherdConservation Society.  Their unbelievable adventure togetherstarts with a battle between the Sea Shepherd and shark poachers inGuatemala resulting in pirate boat rammings gunboat chases mafiaespionage corrupt court systems and attempted murder charges forcingthem to flee for their lives.Through it all Stewart discovers these magnificent creatures have gonefrom predator to prey and how despite surviving the earth's historyof mass extinctions they could easily be wiped out within a few yearsdue to human greed.  As a result of irrational and uncheckedhuman hunting the world's shark population has decreased anastonishing 90%.    Stewart's remarkable journey ofcourage and determination changes from a mission to save the world'ssharks into a fight for his life and that of mankind.Product Features Beneath the Surface Featurette Shark Defense Naval Training Film Theatrical Trailer and TV SpotsSpecifications Stars

5.0 out of 5 stars Say NO to Shark fin soup !, September 4, 2008
By 
Guy Rogers (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sharkwater (DVD)
This is one thing you will certainly come away with after watching the film.

As a scuba diver, sharks are what you want to see, especially the whale shark, but they are generally so shy they will certainly keep their distance.

The film sees Rob Stewart explore the `Darwin's theory of evolution' Galapagos islands and Costa Rica. Rob is a professional underwater photographer and videographer so the images he captures while gliding through the depths are stunning. That is until they turn to the finning operations, the corruption and images of sharks caught in a long lines where you can but ponder `what is humanity doing'.

This film really gives you a wake up call to the importance of the oceans and the sharks place at top of the food chain to keep everything balanced.

The books emphasis goes more on the role of the Sea Shepherd, the ocean's eco systems and gives you a chance to look again at the gracefulness of the shark.

A must watch/read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Essential Viewing!, March 31, 2008
This review is from: Sharkwater (DVD)
I was fortunate enough to be in Canada last year when this amazing film was being shown at a university theatre. Having won over twenty international film awards and garnered much critical acclaim, it's shocking how little exposure and theatrical play this film has had in the US. Regardless, this is easily one of the very best documentaries I've seen.

I was taken off-guard by how little I really knew about sharks aside from the terrible misconceptions so many of us have been fed since childhood. Rob Stewart does a magnificent job of thoroughly dismantling the caricature of sharks as ferocious monsters deserving of our fear and hatred, instead capturing the gentle beauty and vital importance of these creatures to life as we know it. The frightening ordeal Stewart finds himself in while filming is worthwhile viewing in itself. You don't need to be an environmentalist to appreciate Stewart's courageous documentation of the heart-wrenching barbarity imposed upon sharks (and other aquatic life).

Watch this film with as many friends and relatives as you can. We all need to be more aware of the impact humans are having on the environment. Sharkwater is a milestone effort in raising this awareness.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible, February 27, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sharkwater [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
A stunning and remarkable documentary film about the illegal fishing of sharks for the Asian food market that is both riveting and beautiful to watch. The film documents director Rob Stewart's discovery and determination in letting the public know about the plight of sharks being killed off. The High Def imagery/cinematography is simply incredible and I'm sure the Bluray disc will look equally impressive as when I saw it on the AFI' Silver Theatre DLP system in March of 2006. The film is essential in educating all about the misconceptions and slaughter of sharks, it is both enlightening and ultimately heartbreaking - highly recommended!
