Filmmaker Rob Stewart takes a breathtaking journey underwater and into the balance of life on earth. Driven by a lifelong fascination with sharks, Stewart debunks historical stereotypes and media depictions of the bloodthirsty, man-eating monsters and reveals the reality of sharks as pillars in the seas’ evolution, while exposing the exploitation and corruption surrounding the world’s shark populations in marine reserves from Cocos Island to the Galapagos. (2006, 90 min.)
