Sharkwater

Ok, this is my third attempt at this one.


Last Saturday I found myself on campus for a movie. The movie was called Sharkwater and Rob Stewart was the director. Most of you probably haven't heard of it but I defenitly reccomend you see it. It is a documentary about sharks and more specifically shark finning and the consequences the trade of shark fins could have on the environment.

This movie features some stunning video of sharks and the ocean in general. It is a very informative movie that teaches you a lot most people probably don't know about sharks and their role in the ocean's ecosystem. For example if you take sharks out of the ocean you are greatly risking lowering the amount of oxygen we have to breath. This is because sharks control the population of plankton eating fish and the plankton provide a very large amount of oxygen.

Not only is the movie educational but it is also very well done and entertaining. No one I talked to didn't have an emotional response from this movie. It is by far the best documentary I have ever seen and it supports a very good cause. I greatly reccomend you check it out.
