Celebrate Oceans Day June 8 with a free screening of Sharkwater

Thanks to a generous sponsor, we’re able to bring you Rob Stewart’s original film, Sharkwater, the film that started it all in celebration of World Oceans Day on June 8, 2020.

Sharkwater brought the devastating issue of shark finning for shark fin soup to the world stage. Demonstrating that sharks are misunderstood as dangerous creatures, biologist Rob Stewart travels to the Galapagos Islands, Costa Rica and across four continents. With 90 percent of the shark population destroyed by indiscriminate hunting, Stewart joins forces with Sea Shepherd conservationist Paul Watson to fight poachers who illegally kill them for their fins.

Sharkwater won numerous awards, changed laws, public policy worldwide, and created hundreds of conservation groups including the FinFree chapters. Today more than 90 countries have banned shark finning or the trade of shark products.

Sharkwater premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to rave reviews and was released around the world in 2007/2008. Now is your chance to see it again (or for the first time).
