Wildscreenings: Sharkwater (PG)
91 mins
Please note: this is an old screening, first shown in Oct 2008
Shark populations are in trouble. In this true-life environmental adventure, biologist and filmmaker Rob Stewart brings us closer to them than ever before and reveals exploitation and corruption. Surviving boat rammings, attempted murder, hospitalization, mafia chases and machine guns, Stewart risked his life to expose the exploitation of sharks and destruction of the oceans.
Sharkwater has changed legislation already. Five days after the film’s release in Costa Rica, the government there banned all international landings of sharks. Whole foods also banned the sale of all shark products in the wake of the Sharkwater’s revelations. The film has spawned six conservation groups dedicated to protecting sharks.
All Wildscreenings are free; Subject to availability tickets can be collected from Box Office on the day of the screening. You can call Box Office on (0117) 927 5100, and reserve tickets but you must collect them on the day an hour before the start time of the screening.
NB: the advertised times are the actual starting times of each programme for all Wildscreenings.
