EXTINCTION

13 years later, the documentary filmmaker delivers a status update. Stewart delves deeper into the global shark fin industry. From West Africa to Spain and Central America to France and California he uncovered criminal machinations - a dangerous expedition that illustrates once again how the ruthless killing of sharks endangers our ecosystem. A film that unfortunately ends tragically.

SEASPIRACY

What was originally intended as a homage to the great blue seas has turned into a spectacular story of revelation: The filmmaker Ali Tabrizi traveled halfway around the world for his documentary "Seaspiracy", spoke to those responsible and often put himself in danger in order to Uncover hidden truths about the destruction of the oceans. "Seaspiracy" examines the fishing industry and its enormous impact on the oceans and the climate.
