ALiberation together with Sea Shepherd Ireland invite to the screening of "Sharkwater"! The screening will be followed by a talk by John Flynn who will be just back from Ghana with first hand knowledge of the shark fin trade in the country.
"Sharkwater" takes you into the most shark rich waters of the world,
exposing the exploitation and corruption surrounding the world's shark
populations in the marine reserves of Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the
Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.
In an effort to protect sharks, Stewart teams up with renegade
conservationist Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
Their unbelievable adventure together starts with a battle between the
Sea Shepherd and shark poachers in Guatemala, resulting in pirate boat
rammings, gunboat chases, mafia espionage, corrupt court systems and
attempted murder charges, forcing them to flee for their lives.
Through it all, Stewart discovers these magnificent creatures have gone
from predator to prey, and how despite surviving the earth's history of
mass extinctions, they could easily be wiped out within a few years due
to human greed.
Sea Shepherd and ALiberation will have a stand with information and some merchandise.
