Wildscreen: Sharkwater

Wildscreenings: Sharkwater (PG)

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.
