Plot Summary:
|
Suited for filmmaker Rob Stewart, exploring sharks began as an underwater occurrence. What it turned into was a beautiful and dangerous get-up-and-go journey into the balance of life on earth. Driven by passion fed from a lifelong fascination with sharks, Stewart debunks historical stereotypes and media depictions of sharks as brutal, man-eating monsters and reveals the actuality of sharks as pillars in the evolution of the seas. Filmed in visually stunning, euphoric definition video, Sharkwater takes you into the most shark mellow waters of the world, exposing the exploitat... ion and corruption circumambient the world's shark populations in the maritime reserves of Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.
