A passionate environmental documentary that traces shark extinction through industrial-scale slaughter, framing ecological collapse as a moral reckoning that implicates us all.

Following the sharks - and the money - into the elusive pirate fishing industry, Stewart uncovers a multi-billion dollar scandal that makes us all accomplices in the greatest wildlife massacre ever known.
