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.
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
I enjoyed it even more than SHARK TALE, my previous favourite film about sharks.
I was immediately moved and compelled to do something and I did! The time to act is now in order to save our planet.
SAVE THE SHARKS plese ( SOS ) I love the sharks. Just everyone in the hole world wanna se this movie, the world will be change..
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"!!!
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.
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.
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.
My son went back to see it again....it`s now his favourite movie
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?!
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.
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
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.
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.
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".
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!!
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!!
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.
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 :)
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.
This movie goes right up top with one of our favourites. It was such a great movie that helped the general public know about what is happening to the sharks around the world. We are so oblivious to a lot of what is happening to our ecosystems and this movie is a great way to get word out so we can help protect such magical creatures of the sea. This movie was so well put together; the footage, the music, and the drama...fantastic film. I hope everyone goes out to see sharkwater as it will help us all work together to save our world as we know it!
Sharkwater is the movie the sharks have been waiting for, and literally couldn't continue to live without. It will open the general publics' eyes to a slaughter that goes on relatively unchecked. Hopefully, it will initiate public action which is long overdue. Joel Shilliday Shark Research Institute
Rod Stewart is to be commended for this stunning and beautiful work.
This movie has a strong message that really sticks with you. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am very glad to know that more and more people are starting not to fear sharks. Why are we scared of them? Because they have lots of teeth. Why are they REALLY scared of us? Because we cut of their fins, that have no taste, for a soup and then throw them back into the ocean to die. Anybody who wants to see an exceptionally good documentary should go see this.
This movie was one of the best documentaries i have ever scene and it brought a big message to the world trying to get them to stop Finning Sharks and try to protect these misunderstood creatures
This was a fantastic film!
I thought I would see shark attacks!
Cool! I would see it again! Proud to be Canadian!
Really good. Makes you think.
I was looking forward to learning a lot more about sharks, but was utterly disappointed.
I was definitely blown away. I had no idea this was going on! This movie is both beautifull and sad at the same time, and i encourage people of all ages to go and see it! you will never look at the ocean the same way ever again. Thank you to Rob and the filmakers who produced this amazing movie, keep doing what you do best!
This was a definite eye opener. I had no idea that something like this was going on. I think everyone should go see this film and take your children too. Not just to see the horrible crime that is taking place but to see the beauty of the sea and why we need to protect it. Thank you Rob for bring this to the light of day!
i think this movie is a very good idea for one i love sharks andits about time there is a movie that can show ppl that they are not deadly and dont mean to harm u so ppl wont be afraid of sharks as well.
why are they killing them ? they are nice scary but nice even on the movie it`s amazing what real sharks look like. Cool huh? well I can`t say how sorry I am for the sharks. I would like to swim with the sharks too well got to go bye thanks for the advice.
A moving and important message all wrapped up with stunningly beautiful underwater footage. It received a standing ovation when I saw it! GO SEE IT!
Watched screening last night and was truly amazed and shocked. Very educational and very sad at the same time. Would recommend it to anyone who cares for the environment and loves learning.
I saw the preview last night and I sent the comments below to all of my email contacts this morning - I thought I'd share it with you....Congratulations to Rob on a job well done. I hope Everyone sees this film. "I saw the preview for an extremely important documentary last night called Sharkwater and I feel compelled to share a personal recommendation with you. The documentary was made by a young Canadian marine biologist/underwater photographer from Toronto named Rob Stewart. It's his first documentary. The film has gone on to win multiple awards at various international independent film festivals. Reviews are describing it as a cross between "Winged Migration" and "Bowling for C
It starts off slowly as a beautiful shark movie, then changes into an unbelievable environmental thriller! You must see this movie!
