Toronto’s Rob Stewart wishes to undo the decades of Hollywood myth surrounding Sharks, and save a species that has 
declined 90% in the last 30 years. It would appear this is best accomplished in a Speedo posing for the Camera
Narration, over stunning HiDef footage of sharks, conveys the tragic plight of the sharks and how it is Rob’s purpose to change that. That he is a trust fund brat that can afford to do anything he wishes, and pay people to make him seem professional, is fortunate.
Given how little Paul Watson and Rob Stewart interacted, and that he was left behind with “FLESH EATING DISEASE”- I suspect the only reason he was allowed on the Sea Shepherd, in the first place, was the considerable donation he made and he was not thrown overboard only because cameras were still rolling
With his staged ambush interviews, this guy is the Michael Moore of nature documentaries. He is a biased media whore, whose movie culminates in a look-at-me-in-a-Speedo scene.
The same 15 minutes of stunning shark footage are played over and over through out the movie, and when contrasted against the rest of the footage, makes me wonder who really filmed it.
His line from the hospital bed, when he is diagnosed with “flesh eating disease”, made me stand up in the theatre and scream- “You can not be fucking serious. Did this guy really just say that?”
When some one who is that arrogant, self involved and biased makes a documentary- I question the truthfulness and validity of the scenes. I could not help but wonder if the scenes in Central America with the Taiwanese gangs were staged.
I am not saying they were but when the doubt is planted, it invalidates everything that is being said. These types of “documentaries” do a disservice to whatever cause they are trying to promote because they are only preaching to the converted.
In spite of all that, I believe the plight of the sharks is a warning that should be noted. The earth is horribly out of balance and consequences, we can not even imagine, are going to bite us on the ass, like…. well…., something other than a shark.
