This movie was amazing. Sharks are my favorite animal and I want to do everthing I can to help stop there extinction.
Before the movie, i wanted to become a shark expert. After this movie, i want to become a shark conservationist.
Thank you so much for devoting time and energy to \"demystifying\" sharks and their huge impact on mother earth! Like many I am a diver and am very sensitive to the protection of underwater life. Hope this film will have a significant influence on how sea life is seen. Great photography, music, and editing work... the movie just keeps you wanting for more.
I saw this documentary in science class and this changed my knowledge of shark! I just thought that shark is just a bad creature, but i know and i want to protect shark. Shark is an important creature in this world.
this documentary is amazing, its a great eye opener. i saw this movie about 2 years ago when it first came out. i had no idea what it was when i decided to watch it, but after i wastched it i knew that i wanted to be a marine biologist. this movie changed my life. now i dont buy with a made in china sticker on it (which is kind of hard:P) and i dont eat in chinese places if they have shark fin soup in their menu. i also dont shop at places that have or are selling shark product.
We need to put an end to shark finning. Maybe everyone should boycott products exported from countries that neglectfully continue consuming shark fins!! For an example don t buy anything with a made in China sticker on it!
Bonjour, j avais les larmes aux jeux quand j ai regardé votre reportage à la TV et je vous soutiens contre le braconnage illégal des ailerons de requins. Evidemment nous savons tous que les autorités étrangères sont au courant mais ne font rien pour que cela évolue, continuez vos démarches, j espère qu elles ne seront pas faite en vain. Salutations christelle.
I\ v watched this film 3 times in 1 day and everytime, I feel more inspierd.
It was really eye opening, I knew shark finning was happening but I had no idea to what scale it was happening. It made me sick that someone could ever do something like that to an innocent animal.
We need to stopt this. Tell your friends, family, colleages everyone to watch this film! Get the word out there! Visit the SeaSheperd website to help save these creatures, they are more important than we all can imagine!
It s unbelievable that this is happening. It s obvious that this mainly happens because of money, but at the same time it s idiotic for them to aimlessly kill sharks without considering the sharks population. This is barbaric and it needs to be stopped. I have talked to other people about this, now I hope that I can help.
Awesome film! Just shows how destructive we as humans are. We are our own worst enemies.
This film was amazing, Rob you have done a phenomenal job of portraying the shark in it\ s true light, a critical key to our own survival. It brought tears to my eyes to watch the brutality inflicted on these amazing creatures. We would not stand a chance against ourselves if not for people like you, who commit to bringing these issues to the world. Thank you so much.
This movie brought me to tears - humans are ignorant and greedy barbarians! I want to buy a copy of this movie for ALL my friends and everyone that I encounter...people need education. People need to pull together and speak up - we have strength and a voice when we are in numbers - we cannot allow this to continue to happen!
Thank you Rob Stewart! It was apparent that you were born to help the wonderful creatures. I m glad to see you bonded with the wonderful people of Green Peace. The world is a much better place because you re in it. This show has educated and moved me in many ways.
I have always been fascinated by sharks and everything about them that there is to know..this movie is so intense I actually started crying and had to look away. My anger over the hunters and fishers and poachers is unbelievable right now. How can they not see what they are doing is killing us all??
Just saw this on Discovery...so moving, made me cry. The poor Sharks. I hate my species.
An excellent film.Beutifully shot and a very powerful message.There should be an international movement to protect sharks as they are Tigers of oceans.
This, is just so terrible... How can they do that? We need to get the word out there, to make this go as huge as possible. Someone needs to get a giant Facebook group going or something. I looked, and the biggest group is only like 6000 people. Even the official movie page only has 10,000 - which is less than the number of sharks killed in an hour. We need to fight for them.
Humans are inhumane. Not only do sharks need help so to so many other species. This is just one example of our atocities
I was so impressed by your movie and watched it in Toronto Canada. We lived in Asia for 4 years and always refused sharks fin soup at functions (often causing upset!). Can you include more footage from the Southern Hemisphere please? as its off Western Australia and South Africa that a lot of fear is generated by bull sharks. The Taylors (V+P), Australians in their 70\ s have been sending your message that sharks are okay, to deaf ears for many years. Best wishes for your team and our planet\ s sharks.
If you care at all about planet Earth, you ll do whatever you can to stop the MADDNESS that is shark poaching!
I can\ t stop crying!!! Been so shamefull as a human being.
Merci à ROB STEWART de nous avoir ouvert les yeux. nous ne sommes plus ignorants.A nous de ne plus fermer les yeux devant ce massacre insupportable,agissons pendant qu il est encore temps.
i toltaly agree with this movie it should be on every chanel on the t.v every day at 12 when everyone is watching so then people can know about whats going on with our sharks my father handls sharks that have scars on there bodys from people trying to cut there fins off. please help this stop. thank you.
I absolutely loved the film,and as a result the documentary has hardened my resolve to bring Justice to the sharks. I wish that the Sharks will survive these barbaric acts. Sometimes, even the worst of the animals on this planet are the most important.
The documentary really go to me i absolutly loved it! i have always wanted to be a marine biologist and was aware of this situation and i am just so excited that now the world can see the destruction and brutality of illegal fishing that is going on around the world.I really hope that this documentary will help to open peoples eyes to this issue. A very well made documentary!
I hate to inforn others of this. But WildAid confirmed that Russia, Japan, and China have caused the U.N. bill to protect sharks to fail. I say, we boycott chinese products until they grow a brain and believe that sharks are endangered and are MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHALES!
I AGREE WITH KRISSY WE ALL NEED TO DO SOMETING. AND MORE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND. EVERYONE SPREAD THE WORD!!!
I knew this was happening but seeing it is another story. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. What I want to know is...How can we ban shark fishing?
What an amazing film. One can\ t help but to feel emotion at a gut level when watching the horrific treatment of these animals. Most importantly is action has to take place. And a good place to start is seeing the film and passing it on to others. Educating people about the direct effect that the ocean\ s ecology ( and balance of that ecology ) has on the human race hopefully will prompt thinking and, ultimately action. Sometimes the passion for the beauty of these amazing creatures is not enough. But I took great pleasure in feeling this passion for the beauty I saw in this film. The harsh reality of what\ s actually happening to these creatures is hard to swallow.
THIS NEEDS TO STOP. WE NEED TO TAKE THIS HIGHER. IF WE ALL HELP, AND PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT. IT WILL BE STOPPED
The courage we all need. The value that we show. The love that we all live. A demonstration of humanity. One responsibility we all must take. What must be done for every human being, protection of life. Give your life who gave you life.
really good documentairy finning sharks for money is not so cool
love the movie but i wish they would stop finning sharks
this is a amazing documentairy, and if the website a Chinese version of the better!
I definatly agree, theres has already been a major dolphin protection movement some 15 years ago with the whole dolphins in tuna nets. Very few people will go out and eat dolphins, because who doesnt love dolphins?! Saving these sharks will not only help sharks but humans too. We should be looking at the bigger picture!!!
My biggest question is: why do the dolphins get all the attention (a.k.a the OSCAR)? Just cause they\ re cute and cuddly? Dolphins deserve to be saved too but these sharks are too often demonized (Oscar tribute to horror films?? Starting off with Jaws and the ominous track???) I really thought that this documentary deserved an Oscar more than The Cove.
thank\ s you for this documentairy, it\ s the reality and i think that we have to do something to save them!It\ s opened a lote of eyes and it\ s a good thing to see the horrible reality! thank\ s you and i hope that people will realize that we have to do something, continu to save the shark!! gracias,merci!
An amazing film, watch it, learn from it and pass it on! I have always loved sharks and watching this has made me realise just how much they need our help. Finning, and the importation of shark fins should be internationaly banned. Bless you Rob Stewart for doing so much to help raise public awareness of the plight of the worlds sharks. Much respect also to Paul Watson for all the great work he and the Sea Shepherd crew are doing.
