5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful and moving, 31 Mar 2008
Sharkwater is an epic in the truest sense of the word. The blurb says it took four years to film across more than 15 countries. Clearly lots of efforts, but the results more than match up! Sharkwater contains scene after scene of stunning underwater imagery of Sharks and marine ecosystems, intelligently highlighting the danger our modern lifestyles are placing upon them. If you liked Blue Planet, this will be right up your street!

It really is an incredible watch and is suited to all audiences from school age up. Like other reviewers I will certainly be encouraging me firends to purchase the DVD as well! Great score as well including Portishead and Nina Simone! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must See Movie, 27 Mar 2008
This is a must see documentary and is so much more than a documentary.
I was fortunate to see this movie whilst on holiday in the US. It is the most amazing film I have ever seen, I don't think I been so affected by a film, nor has a film ever compelled me to get out there and do something to help like this film did. I am in total awe of what Rob has achieved with Sharkwater and hopeful that this is the beginning of an amazing crusade to save the sharks.
This was the most beautifully shot piece of cinematography I have ever had the fortune to watch. Even so, this beauty was nothing compared to the utterly tragic and desperately moving discoveries the film documented. Rob Stewart cannot be thanked and praised enough for this film and it marks the beginning of something crucial. This must be stopped and this film is what is needed to educate and amaze people. I cannot wait to watch it again and encourage everyone I know to watch it. It literally changes you

Congratulations to you Rob and to all your colleagues. I would urge EVERYONE to buythis movie and I will certainly be encouraging all of my friends to do so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful but upsetting, in equal amounts, 9 Nov 2008
By Marc (England) - See all my reviews
A well presented, part natural history, part conservation documentary with some excellent underwater filmwork.
Much of it filmed around Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands.

While watching this it was easy to think 'greedy/ignorant/cruel shark finning, foreign fishermen'.
But after a bit of further investigation, a quick check on the BBC news reveals:
"The UK is one of only five EU member states that issue special permits to allow the removal of fins at sea under the EU finning ban"
