A MUST SEE !!! June 10, 2008
Even who lives close to where some of sharkwater was filmed had no idea.
it is eye opening and urgently needed to be seen by all.
WATCH IT! It is about OUR survival!!!!
We need to become conscious of what is happening.
Tell as many people as you can.
Thank you to Rob Stewart.
Truly breath-taking! May 23, 2008
This film is a must see - it will open your eyes to the world of sharks - often shunned by the media - to show these truly majestic fish and the important role they play in our oceans - they are the top predators and so, the rulers of the ocean.
The footage is absolutely stunning on both a positive and a negative side - it highlights the Shark fin trade - so it is too, an educational lesson as well as a fantastic film!
I'd highly recommend this to all!

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! :)
A Must See Movie March 27, 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.
