Film Review: Sharkwater

A few weeks ago I was talking to my friend about Oscar winning documentary The Cove. I think it is the greatest documentary I have ever seen. The smooth filming, clever editing and exciting chase scenes mean that The Cove was able to bring an animal rights issue to the masses. Ric O’Barry is a fantastic campaigner, he is passionate, inspiring and unafraid of taking dangerous risks – a great main character for a film. If you haven’t seen The Cove, I really strongly recommend it. Unlike most animal rights documentaries, it’s not gory and so it’s easy to watch (although of course it is upsetting).
