Sharkwater Extinction sounds like a bad deep-sea horror-movie sequel, complete with the frustrating lack of a colon in the title. Stewart’s original documentary helped create change in the finning industry, whereby millions of sharks are killed for their fins, which are then made into soup. On the one hand, many shark species are endangered. But he must also battle the bad press that sharks receive, in part by filming himself underwater, hanging out with placid hammerheads and other shark species. In fact, only five people worldwide were killed by sharks last year, which is fewer than elephant and tiger deaths.
