I have been a huge shark fan for years. Seeing the harsh reality of thier demise in the movie SHARKWATER breaks my heart. It's not hard to boycott the restaurants in Toronto that support the serving of shark fin soup as there are so many others to choose from. I think we should all make a conscience effort to stop this madness and educate ourselves on the ultimate outcome of wiping out the shark population. I believe that they wouldn't have survived this long if they weren't meant to, but who knew MAN could be so destructive and so senseless to destroy thier own planet. I am harrasing everyone i know to go out and watch this movie......and to also visit the website and pledge!

I was telling my friend how good this movie is and now she wants to see it too, so I`m going to see it again!

I loved the movie. It urged me to e-mail the "Outdoor Life Network" to cancel the show "Shark Hunters". I think everybody should write to them as well.

I have the utmost respect for those who have the courage and the inner voice to take action and make a difference on a global scale. Sharkwater reminds us that there is a harmonious and balanced underwater world surrounding us which we can turn to for guidance, healing and life sustaining forces. My version of a perfect world is when people opt to spend time in the ocean playground, feel the calm and unity, be a part of the world that flows with unity. I was moved to tears when I realized that my children may only know sharks as we know dinosaurs - as mythical extinct beings. Sharks have fought to be here and they deserve to be here. The world as we know it depends on it. Rob

A saddened statement about humanity and its "evolution". Yet, a true testimonial to the power of individual leaders and advocates to impact positive social change. Bravo to Rob and his team for raising awareness about such a neglected issue. Beautiful cinematography -- and thoughtful narration. A must see!

When I first saw Sharkwater advertised it did not appeal to me. I thought "here's another ocean flim, like all the rest". Then I saw a new trailer for the film and realized that it was going to be one of my must see movies for the season. I wasn't dissapointed. Sharkwater is powerful and heartbreaking. I remember diving and seeing my first shark. It was so surreal. Being made aware of what is going on around the world to these amazing creatures, all for their fins, makes me sick. I urge everyone to see this film and recommend it to others. I hope people can come together and stop this devastation. I will never view sharks the same way....thank you Rob Stewart for opening our eyes

I saw the movie Sharkwater at the Boston Sea Rovers and can honestly say I haven't slept well since. As the moments pass away during the day, I am constantly aware of the senseless killing of more sharks. My 1st open water dive unintentionally turned into a "shark dive". Words fail me to describe the beauty and peace I felt being submerged in their world. Thanks to this film, I hope others will reconsider our role on earth and how we treat our oceans and life itself.

Hello coming the Film to Europe (Germany/Italy...) ???

The movie was amazing.

AMAZING!

It was a great movie. It should be a wake up call to everybody.

I left the theatre heart broken that my own species would destroy another species for a bowl of soup.
March 26, 2007
just an incredible movie, I hope everyone who goes and sees this movie will take the messege to hart. A great film

I have personally dove around the coast of South Africa and experienced swimming under a ceiling full of hammer-head sharks, along with great white cage diving I developed a new passion for these great creatures. These images will always be remembered and hopefully one day be renewed. Rob Stewart you were able to recreate these experiences on the big screen while providing an in depth look into the brutal massacre of shark finning. This film has driven me to make a difference, I hope others if not act upon this at least see this film. I for one think the sales of shark products in a country such as Canada should be prohibited, as I left the

Go see SHARKWATER. I went to an advanced screening of SHARKWATER, all that I can say is WOW! What is SHARKWATER? Well, it is a spectacular documentary that started out as a way for director, Rob Stewart, to show people that sharks are a wonderful creature that should be marveled, not feared; but it turned in to a lot more. First off, SHARKWATER is visually stunning; there are many wonderful shots of the oceans most perfect inhabitant. Stewart shows us how politically corrupt countries are allowing the slaughter of millions of sharks every year. Stewart sets the record straight and this documentary will show how the dedication and passion of a few can start conservation revolution. I will rec

I seen the movie and it inspired me to help. I put a link on this chat site nexopia. to incourge others to sign the pledge , see the movie and help the sharks. in anyway they possibly can
March 26, 2007
I enjoyed it even more than SHARK TALE, my previous favourite film about sharks.
March 26, 2007
I was immediately moved and compelled to do something and I did! The time to act is now in order to save our planet.
March 26, 2007
SAVE THE SHARKS plese ( SOS ) I love the sharks. Just everyone in the hole world wanna se this movie, the world will be change..
March 26, 2007
Finally someone who did this film, its about time people realise the importance of Sharks...I think the next step would be an international campain againts country who don`t protect sharks in the Tourism industry, it would make a "killing"!!!
March 26, 2007
Loved this movie. It was a great wake up call. I went home an donated money immediately. We need more of these films. It is such a beautiful and sad portrayal of life underwater. I only went to this film initally because my boyfriend wanted to go...But I am a bigger fan now.
March 26, 2007
It is so sad that the destruction of a species was going on with relatively little attention from the rest of the world. This movie has made the public aware, and now its time that we all do something about it.
March 26, 2007
Everyone should see this movie!! Visually stunning and thought-provoking, I was moved beyond words. By the end of the movie my tears were replaced with anger. But as hard as it was to watch the atrocities sharks endure in the name of commerce, ignorance is never the answer. Hopefully others feel as compelled to help as I did when I left the theater.

Twenty-two of us went to see the movie last night – it was FANTASTIC! The team did a great job in filming and story telling. Two of the folks were so moved that they both swore off fish until they can figure out a way to ensure that the fish they are eating is not a result of by-catch. We’ll be getting copies of the movie when it comes out on DVD.
March 26, 2007
My son went back to see it again....it`s now his favourite movie
March 25, 2007
This film goes far beyond debunking shark myths (though Rob Stewart and crew do this brilliantly). It brings to light the political economy around shark finning and the very real dangers to sharks, as well as, to humans if we do not stop this unethical and horrific practice world-wide. We are all a part of the same ecosystem -- when are we going to wake up and realize that if one of us aren't safe, none of us are?!
March 25, 2007
Very, Very good documentary. Upsetting though to see the truth, please past the message on about this movie. It is a movie everyone must see.
March 25, 2007
The best documentary i have seen all year. I think that this movie teaches alot of people that sharks dont try to harm people. it makes my concern of sharks fade away when i will be swimming in the ocean this summer. i never wanted to go in the ocean knowing that sharks kill people but now i feel more confortable now that i have watched the movie. so over all i think that this movie is the greatest documentary that i have watched all year and i will be very happy to see another one! kristen

Amazing movie. This will be the easiest science project I ever do
March 25, 2007
I have travelled to over 30 countries an an avid scuba diver during the past 25 years. I have a tremondous respect and appreciation for sharks and all the oceans creatures. I`m hopeful that Rob`s vision and goal is realised through this wonderful film.
March 25, 2007
this movie had tears streaming down my face. i left the theatre a changed person. the cinematography is stunning and peaceful, and rob stewart has done well for a species that he loves so much. he taught the audience respect, shame and action. my only critique would be empowering the audience more in being part of the solution to these crimes. how does the ordinary person get involved in the campaign. he had me raring to go, but gave no destination. fabulous film. inspired.
March 25, 2007
I thought it was very thought-provoking and made you think. Why not spend more money on the ecological system as opposed to outer space projects. We should be paying more attention to our beautiful earth and it`s inhabitants (man and animals). On a visual note the movie was so "wow".
March 25, 2007
Tragic and enlightening; what a documentary should be. Easily one of the best documentaries I`ve ever seen. Actually, likely one of the best movies I`ve ever seen. If you go for nothing more than the underwater footage, you won`t be disappointed, nor will you be if it`s a social commentary movie you want. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!!
March 24, 2007
oh my god. i was.. inspired! definitely FIVE stars. it made me want to do something, you reached out to me. im only 14 and i want to stop these disgusting acts that are endangering not just the sharks ecosystem but also our own. It was remarkable. I was speechless after watching it. It made me cry. I can't believe we have been SO.. oblivious towards this! Rob Stewart is AMAZING. No one in my family knew this was going on, and now we (or well i know I am!) to stop this! There are no words to describe what emotions i felt after watching this movie. I have always loved watching shows on animals, and when i went to florida this past march break all i could think of was " I want to swim wi

What a moving and remarkable documentary. It's scary how many people choose to look the other way to what is happening to such a vital part of our world. The world needs more people like Rob Stewart who see these creatures for the beautiful creatures they are. We protect the warm, fuzzy and cute but why does it have to be about esthetic apperance? Bravo!!
March 24, 2007
If no one gets attacked and eaten by a Great White, I will not see it. I took me a life time to fear sharks, don`t ruin their imaige by making them the victims. Jaws and Deep Blue Sea are the greatest shark movies ever. Rob Stewart just turned them into cute little puppies.
March 24, 2007
This was the best documentary I have ever seen!!! It was entertaining, and enlightening. I cannot believe that we, the general public, have been so oblivious to such disgusting practices that are endangering our ecosystem. We should be very greatful to Rob Stewart for bringing it to light! Well done :)
March 24, 2007
Truly a remarkable documentary, well written, well portrayed and stunning. Everyone on the planet should own a copy if this. Videos like this should be shown in every high school, to encourage and inform our youth. Mainstream movies should become a thing of the past in comparision to such moving footage. We should all be ashamed in how we treat our planet - Sharkwater brings that shame to light. truly the best documentary I have ever had the pleasure to view.
