Rob Stewart will be in town next week and I'm trying to get him to speak at Poseidon. I will let everyone know about it, as soon as I nail down a date and time. Randy

Sharkwater opens in Tulsa, Oklahoma - January 25th. Having garnered 22 international film awards, including a most recent Nomination for Best Documentary at the Critics Choice Awards, filmmaker Rob Stewart�s epic journey puts him on the front lines to save the planet. After appearances on Larry King Live, The Today Show, Nightline, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood and many others, audiences around the world have taken notice of Rob Stewarts true-life adventure film, Sharkwater.
Part biologist, part investigative reporter, Stewart follows the trail of the multi-billion dollar shark fin trade and sets off a chain of events that has to be seen to be believed. His adventure becomes a dangerous mission involving espionage, corrupt governments, mafia rings, his arrest and a glimpse at his own mortality.
In an effort to protect sharks, Stewart teams up with renegade conservationist Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. A confrontation between the Sea Shepherd and shark poachers in Guatemala results in a dramatic confrontation with a pirate Guatemalan fishing boat.
But that�s just the beginning, as they become involved in a gunboat chase, face corrupt court systems and attempted murder charges, and finally, are forced to flee for their lives.
Filmed in 15 countries in visually stunning, high definition video, including the Galapagos Islands, Sharkwater takes you to the most shark-rich waters of the world, exposing the exploitation and corruption surrounding the world�s shark populations. But what one comes away with is a story about the beauty of life on earth and our role in protecting its amazing balance.
Tulsa will get to see what the buzz is about beginning on January 25th. In conjunction with the Oklahoma Aquarium and AMC Southroads Theatre, Sharkwater will be making a huge splash in the Tulsa area! This release follows a successful run in Canada, where Sharkwater broke opening weekend box office records, out-grossing the opening weekends of Bowling for Columbine, March of the Penguins and An Inconvenient Truth.
Perfect for the avid aquatic fan or those who have had a pet gold fish!
You�ll never look at sharks in the same way again.
