Rob Stewart
For filmmaker Rob Stewart, exploring the underwater world of sharks began as a part-time adventure. It soon evolved into a beautiful and dangerous journey that explores the balance of life on Earth. Stewart reveals sharks to be far from the bloodthirsty man-eating monsters stereotyped by popular myth and the media. Instead, he discovers they are central pillars in the evolutionary construction of the seas. Filming in the most shark-rich waters of the world, he exposes the exploitation and corruption surrounding shark populations in the marine reserves of Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands.
