SHARKWATER EXTINCTION is a thrilling and inspiring action-packed adventure. Rob Stewart continues his courageous crusade through the oceans and across four continents to investigate the corruption behind a multi-billion-dollar pirate fishing trade and massive illegal shark fin industry. From West Africa, Spain, Panama, Costa Rica, France, and even North America, Stewart once again wields his camera to expose the shocking truths that are leading to the extinction of our oldest remaining predator and ultimately to the destruction of our planet. Written, produced and directed by Rob Stewart, SHARKWATER EXTINCTION features Rob Stewart, Brock Cahill, Regina Domingo, Madison Stewart and Will Allen.

Praise for SHARKWATER EXTINCTION:

“Forget about Captain Marvel and watch this powerful doc about the quest of a real-life hero, Rob Stewart.” ~ Cath Clarke, The Guardian

“Stewart's third film is also his best.” ~ Peter Howell, Toronto Star

“His passionate documentary, boasting stirring underwater photography and an equally poignant Jonathan Goldsmith score, speaks urgently on his behalf.” ~ Michael Rechtshaffen, L.A. Times

“SHARKWATER, REVOLUTION, and SHARKWATER EXTINCTION are among the most award-winning documentaries in film history. Rob spent his life defending sharks and the oceans. He wanted to show the beauty of sharks so people would learn to love them and work to protect them. We are thrilled his films will be available this September,” said filmmakers Brian and Sandy Stewart. “Rob’s films have appeared at hundreds of film festivals across the world, changed laws and public policy and inspired worldwide bills to ban shark fishing, shark finning or the import and sale of shark fins. His films are riveting and hopeful and we know audiences everywhere will be inspired by his work to save sharks and the oceans for future generations.”

Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire SHARKWATER, REVOLUTION and SHARKWATER EXTINCTION directly with the filmmakers.

About Rob Stewart; Sharkwater Productions
Rob Stewart was an Activist, Biologist, Author and the Filmmaker behind Sharkwater, Revolution and Sharkwater Extinction. Rob’s films have been viewed by more than 130 million people, changing laws and public policy across the globe. His first film, Sharkwater began when he was 22-years-old and brought the issue of shark finning for shark fin soup to the world stage, changing laws and public policy worldwide. His second film, Revolution, was the first feature to warn of the devastating effects of ocean acidification – the world might not lose just sharks – we could lose everything, the sharks, reefs that house 25% of the world’s fish and potentially the oceans, themselves. In Sharkwater Extinction, Rob finds we are still fishing over 100 million sharks a year and they are now turning up in products for human consumption. Tragically, Rob died in a dive accident filming his final film. His work to save sharks and the oceans lives on through the millions he inspired, conservation organizations, and his powerful films and books.
