This really opens your EYES to how important the oceans are to our survival on the planet.....I now know that plankton consume 70% of the co2 in our air........this first time director will blow you away with his skill in editing and camera work under water and on dry land as well.....machine guns, mafia , boat ramming......A MUST SEE...and I watch like 25 movies a month...this one is the best Documentary out there....2 fins up!!... before they get hacked off that is. I now have a love for the shark.

You always hear about shark finning, but this movie will truly open your eyes about how severe the problem is. The corruption allowing this illegal fishing practice is awful, but it is exposure like this that will help solve the problem. On the bright side, the underwater footage filmed is incredible, especially in Blu-Ray format. This is a MUST see!!!

This film was amazing and inspiring. I was totally disturbed to see the truth about what is happening to all marine life. This film is about so much more than just that though. It reveals how greed is so powerful in this world and how a small amount of people can do so much to change things. Im so thankful to Rob Stewart for opening my eyes.
