Sharkwater premieres in Hong Kong
By Alexandra Heilbron on June 4, 2010 | 2 Comments
The award-winning film Sharkwater premieres in Hong Kong on June 7, 2010. EcoVision Asia will host the VIP Premiere as part of the World Oceans Day series of events. Director and star Rob Stewart will attend the Blue Carpet premiere and VIP After Party as well as other events, including a beach clean up and panel discussion on ocean conservation. The film has previously been shown in Mandarin and the Hong Kong premiere will debut in Cantonese. Sharkwater premiered in Taiwan in May. Sharing the film with Chinese audiences is an important step for Stewart in his mission to spread awareness about shark finning and its effect on ocean conservation. “If people knew what was going on – that their consumption of this delicacy was causing the demise of one of the oldest, most important predators the planet has, and that this is going to mean a big problem for people; I hope they would make more effective decisions, and the demand for shark fin would decline.” Click here for more information on the Hong Kong Premiere or on the World Ocean Day Lunch Panel Discussion.

I love the movie so much when it came out like 2 years ago. I bought the dvd and passed it around my friends. It would be totally meaningful to play the movie in Hong Kong since it’s the biggest consumer of shark’s fin soup in the world. As a Hong Kong person myself, it is quite embarassing. Hopefully the movie will really bring some awareness to less shark’s fin consumption in China.
i loved the movie too. hawaii did something really great, they are banning the sale of fins totally. in canada and most of the US you can buy fins everywhere.
