Sharkwater: see this film take your children (spoilers left right and centre, but read it anyway)

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Take your neighbour's children. And they will ask you why this happens...
This is a film a documentary, by Rob Stewart.
Rob was at the screening this morning and rarely have I seen such commitment.
He is 28 and the film has taken him 6 years to make and get released. It is being distributed by Disney here and I am very shocked they would handle something so political. And I am pleased.
This film will shock and sicken you and I still say take your kids.
It started when Rob was shooting something completely different on the Galapagos Isles and one day, out on the ocean, they came across an illegal fishing boat which cut its lines and ran. They started to haul in the lines...
60 miles of line later. Read that again. 60 miles of line later, 16,000 baited hooks later, 160 sharks later, Rob wanted to know why.
I do not think knowing this will spoil it for you.
I am trying to give some idea of the enormity of what he uncovered.
Take a guess at how many sharks are killed every year.
You are wrong. Whatever you guessed, it's more than that.
The figure is 100,000,000.
And what for?
Shark fin soup.
This is not a joke.
It is a meeting of governments and the mafia. Really.
And one thing is even worse.
Sharks sit at the top of the ocean food chain.
Plankton is at the bottom.
If sharks are wiped out and their numbers are down 90% then other species that eat plankton will thrive.
Plankton turn carbon dioxide into oxygen. 70% of our oxygen.
Enough of the spoilers.
This film will enlighten, scare and sicken you.
I know I will never eat at another restaurant that serves shark fin soup.
It is also beautifully shot using the most expensive digital cameras on earth.
Children as young as 2 or 3 were there and rightly.
They will not thank you if this trade is not stopped.
And you will never criticise the Sea Shepherd people again after you see some of this footage.
See this film. Tell your friends to see it. It is one that will live with you for a long time.

I hope you do.
