Plot summary
Revolution is a new movie from internationally-acclaimed filmmaker Rob Stewart. A follow-up to his award-winning documentary Sharkwater, this continues his remarkable journey of discovery to find out that what he thought was a shark problem is actually a people problem. As Stewart's battle to save sharks escalates, he uncovers grave dangers threatening not just sharks, but humanity. In an effort to uncover the truth and find the secret to saving our own species, Stewart embarks on a life-threatening adventure through 15 countries, over four years in the making. In the past four years the backdrop of ocean issues has changed completely. Saving sharks will be a pointless endeavor if we are losing everything else in the ocean, not just sharks. Burning fossil fuels is releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere; changing the oceans, changing atmospheric chemistry and altering our climate.

Revolution is an important movie for everyone to see.
Simply Excellent
I am a big fan of Rob Stewart's work. He had me at Sharkwater. His latest film shows beautiful footage of some of the world's amazing living things, and then the not so beautiful as well, such as Alberta's oil sands. Stewart is very humble in his approach, acknowledging the importance of holding yourself accountable for environmental impacts, and he definitely does not leave his own impact out of the equation.
The best feature of this film is that it is highly empowering for youth. As an educator, I highly recommend taking your students to see this film. Our school took every kid from grade five through eight to see it before it even hit theatres. It is potentially in theatres for only a few weeks so go now before it is too late.
Worthwhile Productions!!
An incredible film by an incredible man.
Gorgeous underwater photography - phytoplankton at night, schools of fish moving in fantastic patterns, lemurs in Madagascar dancing and sunbathing!! The interviews with scientists, conservationists and activists present wholistic views on the issues - which left me feeling educated, optimistic and inspired.
The film takes you through a visual history of underwater and terrestrial life in order to better see where we are and what needs to happen.
Essential viewing for all.
