This documentary released last year has won 31 International Awards, is filmed by Canadian Rod Sterwart. An experienced diver and underwater photographer (so jealous), Sterwart set out to film a documentary on the declining shark population but instead uncovered an underground Sharkfining operation in Costa Rica operated by the taiwanese mafia.
There is a interview transcript featured on the website Sharkwater site with an opinion I strongly agree with - no one wants to save sharks, people are afraid of them. So very true when you consider the number of times a news coverage of a dangerous shark makes headlines and by doing so play off people's fears.
The trailer looks bloody awesome - better see where I get my hands on this DVD
