Product Description
Driven by a lifelong fascination with sharks, he 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. In an effort to protect these founders of the seas, Stewart teams up with renegade conservationist Paul Watson (Sea Shepherd Conservation Society). Their unbelievable adventure starts with a full-on battle with shark poachers in Guatemala, resulting in pirate boat rammings, gunboat chases, mafia espionage, corrupt court systems and attempted murder charges. This 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. Featuring an original score from Jeff Rona (Original Music, The Lion King), plus tracks from Moby, Nina Simone, Portishead, Aphex Twin and more. DVD Special Features include Chapter Index Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo audio track Making Of Virtual Ocean - EXCLUSIVE TO BLU-RAY United States Air Force Training Film Original Theatrical Trailer

Beautiful, moving, agonising, inspiring, horrific...
A simply fantastic piece of film making exposing the cruelty with which we exploit the oceans and one of our most spectacular and misunderstood animals, highlighting the apparent inevitability of the demise of the shark and the fact that it is us that will pay the ultimate price.
Beautifully shot in HD with fantastic underwater sequences interspersed with upsetting footage of our abuse of these graceful creatures. Wonderful sound track, great editing and a gripping story will keep you on the edge of your seat and change your view of these creatures and, perhaps, of the way we abuse the sea.
This is not a Blue Planet. It is a conservation film rather than a natural history documentary so expect to listen as well as watch.
Blu-Ray is well worth having, but buy it anyway even in "normal" definition.
As important as "An Inconvenient Truth". A must have film.

I am 30+ years old and I wish I could have seen this movie 2 decades ago, especially before I watched the movie "Jaws". I will certainly spend my summer holidays more relaxed from now on.
Sharkwater has also inspired me to get involved in various ways..
It's definitely recommendable! I have already watched it twice and purchased over 10 DVDs, since my whole family is getting it for Christmas!

Not only is this a great HD movie with amazing shots, but it's a thought provoking eye opening must see. This is not just your regular nature documentary, it's a view into the whole world of sharks, and some of the practices still happening today. See for yourself and make up your own mind, but whatever your feelings I urge you to watch this movie.
