Sharkwater: Exclusive screening with Director on May 9th
Oceanblue Divers hosts special fundraiser screening of award-winning film to benefit Shark Research Institute
See the Docu-drama everyone is talking about months before its US Release
Meet Director Rob Stewart and other world-renowned shark experts
Educate yourself on the horrors of sharkfinning
Sharkwater has already won 14 awards worldwide and set box office records during its opening weekend in Canada.
Finally a film that portrays sharks as the magnificent creatures they are - to be admired and protected rather than feared and senselessly destroyed. Rob Stewart is an award-winning cinematographer who weaves together beautiful images with a horrendous reality and leaves us all with a critical call to action. 100 million sharks are brutally pulled from the ocean every year, their fins and tails sliced off, and then the dying creatures are tossed back into the water. Unable to swim, they sink to the bottom to bleed to death or drown.
Often garnering more than $300/lb, shark fins are tasteless, and add no flavor to dishes. The fins are nothing more than a status symbol, driven by the sharkfin industry.
The sharkfinning industry is a close parallel to the illegal drug industry - full of underworld corruption and execution murders. In the next 10 years, it is anticipated most shark species will become extinct – an impact that threatens the health of not just the ocean but of the entire world.
If we are to stop this senseless brutality and save the remaining sharks, we must come together and act now.
See this movie. Educate yourself.
Bring attention to the cause: Stop the cruel and senseless destructions of sharks.
