Sharkwater Extinction - Sunday Cinema in Trail
Submitted by Trail Arts Council on Tue, 05/02/2019 - 10:27am
February 10 4:30 to 6:00 pm Filmmaker Rob Stewart exposes the illegal fishing industry, from West Africa, Spain, Panama, Costa Rica, France, and even in our own backyard, that threatens the survival of the world's sharks. Discovering that sharks are being hunted to extinction, and with them the destruction of our life support system - activist and filmmaker Rob Stewart embarked on a dangerous quest to stop the slaughter, which resulted in the loss of his life. Over 100 million sharks are killed every year and the world's shark population has decreased by 90% in the last 30 years. An entire species - and a cornerstone of our ecosystem - hangs in the balance. Following the sharks - and the money - into the elusive pirate fishing industry, Stewart uncovers a multi-billion-dollar scandal that makes us all accomplices in the greatest wildlife massacre ever known.
