Rob Stewart debunks Jaws and advocates for sharks in Sharkwater documentary
By Karen Hoffmann-Zak
Rob Stewart, a Toronto filmmaker and a lifelong fan of sharks, set out on an odyssey to film and learn about sharks: what they are, how they’ve shaped our oceans and world, why people fear them, and how fear and greed combine to endanger sharks and destroy life in the ocean and on land.
Are sharks really killers, asks 27-year-old Stewart, also a biologist and wildlife photographer. His answer: an emphatic “no.” Sharks, he contends, are shy, sensitive creatures that threaten humans 95 times less a year than do elephants. (Typically, five deaths a year stem from shark attacks.)
Stewart learned to lower his heart rate so as not to scare away certain kinds of sharks: they depart when sensing fear. (Don’t you feel better knowing that?) One memorable close-up shot shows Stewart gently fondling a shark. Another unforgettable scene shows Stewart, clad only in a swimsuit, swimming among dozens of sharks.
The true killers, he says, are those who support long-line fishing of sharks. Sharks are killed for their fins—only the drug trade rivals the shark-fin trade in lucre. Both are illegal in many places. Shark fins are used in pills, falsely believed to confer strength, and, more notably, in pricey soup, a status symbol in the Orient. Risking imprisonment and death, Stewart discovered firsthand that even in Costa Rica, where shark finning is outlawed, this practice actually supports the country’s infrastructure and is tightly connected to the Taiwanese mafia.
As top ocean predators, sharks are integral to our ecosystems. Stewart and other experts warn of grave dangers to sea life, the ocean, the planet, and our oxygen supply if sharks continue to be decimated.
This beautiful, informative, and award-winning documentary hits the theatres in March, when the Sharkwater Web site is slated to feature resource material for students. |
