Sharkwater

Sharkwater is an amazing documentary made by Rob Stewart, who is from Toronto. Stewart presents a counter-narrative to the fear instilled in us by Jaws. He shows sharks as being shy and smart, wanting nothing to do with humans. Throughout his film I was captivated, even though I am usually a sucker for pandas, dogs and seals (think WWF, PETA and Greenpeace), it made me want to get on a boat and start fighting shark finning. If you like The Discovery Channel's Shark Week, animals, or learning something new, this film is for you. Watch the trailer online, then go and rent the film, then take action! Warning: I cried 3 times throughout this film, however that only goes to show how much of an impact it has.
