Incredible

"A stunning and remarkable documentary film about the illegal fishing of sharks for the Asian food market that is both riveting and beautiful to watch. The film documents director Rob Stewart's discovery and determination in letting the public know about the plight of sharks being killed off. The High Def imagery/cinematography is simply incredible and I'm sure the Bluray disc will look equally impressive as when I saw it on the AFI' Silver Theatre DLP system in March of 2006. The film is essential in educating all about the misconceptions and slaughter of sharks, it is both enlightening and ultimately heartbreaking - highly recommended!"

"This is one thing you will certainly come away with after watching the film.
As a scuba diver, sharks are what you want to see, especially the whale shark, but they are generally so shy they will certainly keep their distance.
The film sees Rob Stewart explore the `Darwin's theory of evolution' Galapagos islands and Costa Rica. Rob is a professional underwater photographer and videographer so the images he captures while gliding through the depths are stunning. That is until they turn to the finning operations, the corruption and images of sharks caught in a long lines where you can but ponder `what is humanity doing'.
This film really gives you a wake up call to the importance of the oceans and the sharks place at top of the food chain to keep everything balanced.
The books emphasis goes more on the role of the Sea Shepherd, the ocean's eco systems and gives you a chance to look again at the gracefulness of the shark.
A must watch/read.

"A concise, clear, graphic documentary about the state of over-fishing of one of our top predators in the Sea - & the inhumane - & often illegal - treatment meted out to them.
A sickening reflection on Mans' greed & destruction of ecosystems without thought for any future generations or planetary concerns."
