In an effort to protect sharks, Canadian filmmaker Rob 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.

Sharkwater tells the story of these magnificent creatures that have gone from predator to prey, and how despite surviving the earth's history of mass extinctions, sharks could easily be wiped out within a few years due to human greed.
