SharkWater {The Truth Will Surface}


SHARKWATER: TRAILER

SHARKWATER MySpace Video

My family recently watched the fabulous true-life documentary Sharkwater. This is a documentary by Rob Stewart who journeys through 15 countries over five years, documenting one of our ocean’s most fantastic and misunderstood creatures, the shark.

This documentary is amazing and a must see for anyone who loves our environment, the ocean, sharks and sea life in general. I knew that shark’s were becoming extinct but I had no idea the the reason’s that SharkWater shows. I think you will find all of the reasons shocking as well. This documentary blew my mind, it is a very emotional film that had Mr. Sweet Greens and I yelling at the television one moment and sobbing the next.

I will admit, living in Florida for 5 years really effected the way I felt about sharks. I was afraid of them and nervous about Eben snorkeling and swimming in the ocean. {I never let him now that though, because he loves, loves, loves the ocean and isn’t afraid of anything in it.} However, after watching SharkWater I have a completely different view of sharks. They aren’t the aggressive man eaters that we have always been warned of. The fact is that they are more afraid of us then we should be of them and we should respect and cherish these beautiful creatures.

Eben took the film very seriously, as he usually does, and instead of crying or yelling, he firmly stated over and over again that when he grows up he will NOT allow this to happen. {Eben wants to be a photographer for National Geographic and firmly believes that he will have an impact on the environment through his filming.} I can’t wait for that, nothing would make me happier than having my son grow up to film the Earth professionally.

I strongly encourage you to buy the DVD, Donate Now to Save Sharks, Pledge to Save the Sharks, and learn more about how you can save the sharks at SharkWater.

How do you feel about sharks?
Will you see this documentary?

    Yes,I contacted my library in hopes of them finding it in another system, our system doesn’t have it. Netflix has it, I don’t have a membership, but I have been considering it for occasions such as this. Thanks for sharing!

    Wow, your little guy has some serious lofty ambitions!! That’s wonderful to hear-I can’t wait to see his work ๐Ÿ™‚
    I’ll definitely take a look at this documentary when I get the chance; I think it’s really important to give these creatures the benefit of the doubt because they are so misunderstood!
