SHARKWATER TRAILER

Add to My Profile | More Videos

FROM: SHARKWATER.COM

In an effort to protect sharks, (Biologist/Filmmaker) Rob Stewart teams up with renegade conservationist Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Their unbelievable adventure together starts with a battle between the Sea Shepherd and shark poachers in Guatemala, resulting in pirate boat rammings, gunboat chases, mafia espionage, corrupt court systems and attempted murder charges, forcing them to flee for their lives.
Through it all, Stewart discovers these magnificent creatures have gone from predator to prey, and how despite surviving the earth's history of mass extinctions, they could easily be wiped out within a few years due to human greed.
Stewart's remarkable journey of courage and determination changes from a mission to save the world's sharks, into a fight for his life, and that of humankind.

"When the guns came out I started filming our journey so we'd have a record of what happened to us.

I think people will love this film because it's different. It's a true life adventure about a guy that wanted to save sharks."
-Rob Stewart

thank you for making a film about sharks and for telling the truth! I have spread the word to family, friends and everyone that is willing to listen... and in my own way have stopped shopping in places that sell shark fins and even go to restaurants that have it on their menu, if each and every single one of us took a stand, we as a whole can make an impact and difference, it begins with each of us... thank you for creating awareness and sharing your passion for this beautiful, powerful, magnificent creature the Shark...

OMG just saw Rob on The Best Years season finale!!! I FREAKED OUT! I was like "No one else is going to know who he is or what Sharkwater is but I DO and this is AMAZING!" haha
And I am now ending my evening by watching Sharkwater on DVD and then going to bed!

hey everyone can you please take the short small time to help save sharks by filling out this petition to save them! Every year thousands if not millions of sharks are killed solely for their fins for a stupid myth! If we kill the ocean we kill ourselves! The ocean produces over 70% of the oxygen we breath! Please!!!! Only a minute!!!

I got bit by an 8 foot tiger 3 years ago on Maui. There are pics on my profile if you want to see em. =]

I still think its wrong to kill the sharks for their fins. I watched Sharkwater for the first time last Thursday. It was very moving. Excellent job!

Pirates are friendly


Pirates are hearty
They’re bluff and they’re loud
They’ll always have fun
On their own or in crowds

Some have an eye patch
And some have a hook
In place of the hand
That a crocodile took

They’re usually friendly
Despite all your fears
But if you should cross them
They’ll cut off your ears

They’ll stamp on your fingers
Stick knives up your nose
Put ants in your trousers
And crabs on your toes

And then when they’re finished
And your spirits are low
It’s off to the edge of the ship you must go

Hands tied behind you
Eyes bound about
You’re prodded and pushed
By their jeers and their shouts

Your eyes start to water
There’s no hope, let’s be frank
In a matter of seconds
You’ll fall from The Plank

Below you’ll be swallowed
By water and sharks
Who will bite you and tear you
Into many wee parts

You prepare for the moment
When you’ll fall into space
You screw up your courage
Your hands and your face

Then suddenly, laughter!
A hug and a poke
Why those silly old pirates
Were having a joke!

I told you they’re friendly
Despite all your fears
But, if you should cross them
It could all end in tears

Hello, I finally saw Sharkwater last week. Wonderful. The one image that will haunt me for the rest of my life I think (there were a few of them)...is the turtle. A sicko of a man casually blinded this turtle. I expose myself almost regularly to the horror of animal abuse, but this effected me deeply. I'm very curious asto the circumstanced surrounding this. WHY? What was this guy like?? How did you get this footage? Were you using a hidden camera or was he showing off for the camera? Any reason that might exist does not justify this behavior.. I just need to know what surrounds this horrific image. Thank you for the film.
