SHARKWATER EXTINCTION is a thrilling and inspiring action packed journey that follows filmmaker Rob Stewart (Sharkwater, Revolution) as he exposes the massive illegal shark fin industry and the political corruption behind it - a conspiracy that is leading to the extinction of sharks. From West Africa, Spain, Panama, Costa Rica, France, and even in our own backyard, Stewart's third film dives into the often violent underworld of the pirate fishing trade to expose a multi-billion dollar industry. Shark finning is still rampant, shark fin soup is still being consumed on an enormous scale, and endangered sharks are now also being used to make products for human consumption. Stewart's mission is to save the sharks and oceans before it's too late. SHARKWATER EXTINCTION exposes the illegal activities isn't easy; protecting sharks has earned him some powerful enemies. Friend colleague and founder of SeaChange Agency Brock Cahill joins us to talk about working with director and sea mammal advocate Rob Stewart, the popular misconceptions about sharks and the challenge to stop the unwarranted slaughter of 150 million sharks every year by a clandestine world-wide cabal.

Brock Cahill Z and Face2Face host David Peck talk about Sharkwater Extinction, Rob Stewarts news film, enemies of sharks and activism, drift net fishing, policy changes and why sometime sit’s easier to like animals more than people. Trailer Synopsis Sharkwater Extinction is a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Sharkwater, Stewart’s first film, which brought the devastating issue of shark finning to the world stage. Sharkwater Extinction is a thrilling and inspiring action-packed journey. Stewart continues his courageous crusade through the oceans and across four continents to investigate the corruption behind a multibillion-dollar pirate fishing trade and massive illegal shark fin industry. From West Africa, Spain, Panama, Costa Rica, France, and even North America, Stewart exposes the shocking truth that is leading to the extinction of our oldest remaining predator and ultimately to the destruction of our planet. Both Sharkwater and Stewart’s second film Revolution (2012) had world premieres at TIFF before going on to international acclaim. Sharkwater and Revolution are still to this day the number 1 and 3 Canadian documentaries of the last 15 years. They have been awarded more than 70 international awards and viewed by over 125 million people. In January 2017, while shooting Sharkwater Extinction, Rob Stewart tragically passed away during a dive off the Florida Keys. The world was stunned by the loss of one of the most influential activists of our time. Rob risked everything in a tireless effort to educate, preserve and defend the oceans. His impact and sacrifice are beyond measure and the producers along with a talented group of filmmakers, editors and loyal Sharkwater supporters felt compelled to continue his work and ensure the film was completed. Award-winning editor Nick Hector was given the daunting task of sifting through Rob’s copious hours of footage and reams of detailed notes to create a final cut of Sharkwater Extinction. His efforts were supported by award-winning documentary filmmaker Sturla Gunnarsson who acted as a consultant to the team. “Rob spent his life defending the oceans and sharks - determined to change the world. We believe his work will continue to do so,” said Brian and Sandy Stewart. “Rob had a magical way of connecting with audiences and this film is one more step in his mission to inspire action in the important fight to protect this planet for generations to come. We are pleased that Sharkwater Extinction, like Rob’s previous films, will launch at TIFF before rolling out to audiences around the world.” Biography Rob was a biologist, conservationist, activist, and filmmaker. Sharkwater Extinction follows his two internationally award-winning films, Sharkwater (2006) and Revolution (2012). Sharkwater brought the devastating issue of shark finning to the world stage. Revolution was the first feature film to expose the devastating effects that Ocean Acidification would bring: much worse than scientists had thought climate change would be. Born in 1979 and raised in Toronto, Stewart graduated from the University of Western Ontario. He dedicated his life to conservation, saying: “Conservation is the preservation of human life on earth. And, that, above all else is worth fighting for.” He taught the world to love the oceans and their creatures and not fear sharks, through his iconic images of hugging and free diving with sharks and mantas.

This week I got to chat with the creators behind the new documentary Sharkwater Extinction (2018). The film was one of the must-sees at this year's Vancouver International Film Festival. Sharkwater Extinction is the sequel to the successful Canadian documentary Sharkwater (2008). The first film showed how sharks are being hunted to extinction for their fins. That film was not only a financial success, but the film lead to shark finning being banned worldwide. Both films were helmed by Rob Stewart. Tragically Stewart died during the filming of Sharkwater Extinction. His friends and collaborators Brock Cahill (diver, activist and friend of Rob's for over 10 years) and Julie Andersen (grassroots activist, marketing consultant and founder of the non-profit Shark Angels) completed Sharkwater Extinction and are carrying on with their friend's work. Sharkwater Extinction shows how--even with the shark finning ban--sharks are still being hunted to extinction because surprisingly shark by-products are present in many common household items and shark meat is hidden in many common foods. If you get a chance, check out both films. Sharkwater Extinction is both tragic (they deal with Stewart's death), informative and empowering (the film also serves as a call to action to help save sharks.)

Arguing that sharks are misunderstood as dangerous creatures, biologist Rob Stewart traveled to the Galapagos Islands, Costa Rica and other places where the animals can be found and released an award winning, life-changing documentary called Sharkwater in 2007. Underwater, he fed sharks to demonstrate their fundamentally nonviolent nature. With 90 percent of the shark population destroyed by indiscriminate hunting, Stewart joined forces with conservationist Paul Watson to fight poachers who illegally kill the animals for their fins and sell the meat to the Taiwanese Mafia. Helping to protect sharks, changing government policy, and inspiring the creation of shark conservation groups, Sharkwater is considered one of conservation's success stories. Rob’s second film, Revolution, continued his quest to save sharks and the oceans. Revolution was the first feature film to platform the devastating effects of Ocean Acidification. Climate change was well known, but scientists were just realizing the effects would be much worse than ever imagined. We were in danger of losing the coral reefs, and potentially the entire ocean ecosystem, which gives us 60% of our oxygen. Sharks, the top predator controlling the fish populations below them and the plankton that give us our oxygen, were being fished to extinction in an ecosystem they have controlled for 400 million years. 100 – 150 million sharks are killed every year, but only about half of them are reported, including endangered species. Shark populations have dropped more than 90% in the last 40 years. Without the oceans’ main predator, marine ecosystems are being destroyed beyond repair. Sharkwater: Extinction continues the adventure across four continents, as Rob travels through the oceans to investigate the corruption behind a multi-billion dollar industry. The crew goes through some of the world’s most dangerous fishing ports run by international crime organizations that have infiltrated the fishing industry. Sharkwater: Extinction dives into remote underwater locations to reveal the catastrophic effects humanity has had on the oceans. Illegal overfishing of sharks across the planet has deeper consequences that puts the Earth’s most important ecosystem in danger of collapsing, which threatens all life in, and above, the ocean. Stewart dedicated his life to conservation, saying: “Conservation is the preservation of human life. And, that, above all else is worth fighting for.” He taught the world to love the oceans and their creatures and not fear sharks through his iconic images of hugging and free diving with sharks and mantas. Sadly, Robbie passed away while shooting Sharkwater Extinction last January 2017… he was a Canadian photographer, filmmaker and conservationist, and all around amazing human being he was compassionate, inspired, and a lot of fun. We lost him too early but his spirit and legacy live on through his upcoming film Sharkwater Extinction, his family, his closest friends, and their conservation efforts. I had the pleasure of meeting Robbie together with a fantastic group of 40 creative humans at a Tony Robbins UPW event 3 years ago in Los Angeles, we started talking about collaborating on a project, and then all of a sudden, he was gone. It was hard to accept that he did, just like that, when there was still so much to do, and create, and enjoy for him, and those of us who were lucky to share some life moments with him. I wanted to dedicate this episode 7 to celebrating his life and work. Robbie, we miss you so much, and at the same time, your spirit is so alive, we all feel you so present. Wherever you are, thank you for your legacy So today, we have the pleasure to have Brock Cahill on the show, Brock is a Cinematic Activist and Preservation Tactician Aligned with the Intention of Nature, i.e. Captain at TeamSharkwater, as well as President and Founder of The SeaChange Agency. He is the long time dive buddy, and brother in fins, of our beloved friend late Rob Stewart. Robbie always gently reminded Brock that the camera is our greatest weapon in the revolution to save the world. Their escapades have carried them around the globe, and through the seven seas on the quest to save sharks, and activate humanity.
