film synopsis
A powerful sequel to the 2006 multi-award-winning Sharkwater, Rob Stewart's film continues the exposure of the illegal international shark fishing industry. Most people now understand that millions of sharks are killed every year for their fins (for use in soup), but few know that sharks, despite their mercury-laden flesh, are being renamed and passed off as other fish or as ingredients in everything from dog food to cosmetics. Sporting stunning underwater and aerial photography, renowned ecologist and activist Stewart - who lost his life in the making of this film - went undercover to investigate and expose the criminal trade of these misunderstood creatures, which continues despite international laws banning the practice. Stewart's dedication to the environment ignited a global movement, and his spirited belief in our ability to change our habits and save the planet are in every frame of this film.
