Sharkwater...

Ok so we've been slack, we haven't really posted anything in a long while. Apologies. Jane assures me that there are some posts that she just hasn't quite finished yet but I just think that she (like most!) loves facebook more than blogland these days.

Anyway I'm posting with Jane's full approval to tell you folks to all go and see the new film Sharkwater. It is being released in Australia on the 15th of May and is simply and awesome film. It is a visually stunning documentary which focuses on the plight of the worlds declining Shark population, is encompasses many things you may not know about the illegal fishing that goes on around the world every day, it also dispels some of the most common misconceptions about Sharks and their interactions with humans.

Jane and myself and some of my family recently attended the Australian premier of the film and were simply awestruck. Even as a someone who has studied marine science I found myself moved almost to tears in some parts of the film, other parts are equal parts beautiful, funny and inspiring, you must see it.

At the premier the filmmaker Rob Stewart spoke frankly passionately and eloquently and was inspiring to hear, he is also (just quietly) perhaps one of the hottest men you'll have seen on the big screen in a long long time. So even if your motivations aren't entirely environmental and are somewhat "eyecandy" based please make sure you go and see this film, it is beautiful, shocking and will change the way you look at the worlds oldest predator, sharks. They have been around since before there were trees and we stand ready to see them wiped out within our lifetimes, watch this film and let it motivate you and outrage you so that you getup about this issue.
