Back in 2006, Canadian filmmaker Rob Stewart released a documentary that had a profound effect on the preservation of the world’s shark population.
Sharkwater was a hugely respected, award-winning film that exposed the corruption rooted in the shark fishing industry, particularly in areas such as Costa Rica and Ecuador, while helping scientists understand the importance of sharks in the age of man-made climate change.
With every species of shark still under existential threat, Stewart decided he had to go again, eventually coming up with a sequel – Sharkwater Extinction.
Treading much of the same ground as the previous movie, Extinction exposes the scale at which mankind is destroying the shark population in the name of food, sport fishing and even beauty products.
Stewart sets off on a journey around the the same shark-destroying climes (mostly Costa Rica) with a small team of helpers, filming his experiences as he quizzes locals and politicians about what’s occurring,...

“Sharkwater Extinction” isn’t just a follow-up to 2006’s “Sharkwater”; it’s another in a long line of well-intentioned advocacy docs that end with a website address. The difference, however, is that Rob Stewart’s film also concludes with the Canadian writer-director’s own 2017 demise at the age of 37 from hypoxia, which lends it a gravity — and urgency — that few like-minded efforts can claim. A testament to its maker’s staunch belief in the cause of shark preservation, it’s a plea for transparency and conservation whose gorgeous 4K cinematography should make it an enticing proposition for nonfiction cinephiles and activists alike.
Stewart’s fate isn’t revealed at the outset of “Sharkwater Extinction;” rather, it’s foreshadowed by ominous colleague comments as well as Stewart’s own admission that, while his parents worry about his safety, his success at surviving brushes with death has only amplified his confidence. There...

The final film from documentarian and ocean conservationist Rob Stewart, “Sharkwater Extinction” goes to amazing lengths to expose the illegal shark-finning industry, a highly controversial practice endangering the misunderstood predator. The film is a follow-up to the highly-successful 2006 Canadian film “Sharkwater,” a deep-dive into the corrupt shark-hunting industries in the marine reserves of Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. “Sharkwater” is credited with changing laws and public policy worldwide and creating hundreds of conservation groups, with more than 90 countries banning shark finning today.
“Sharkwater Extinction” continues Stewart’s 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. Shot in vivid 6k, the trailer boasts mind-blowing cinematography and action-packed scenes of Stewart provoking members of the mafia-controlled industry.
