In Save the Humans, award-winning documentary
filmmaker Rob Stewart tells his captivating
life-story-so-far--from self-professed ''animal nerd''
to one of the world's leading environmental activists,
from a person whose sole focus was saving his beloved
sharks to a mission to save us all. Rob Stewart has
always been in love with creatures, the odder or more
misunderstood the better. His passion for all living
things, including Satan, his 7-foot-long, 80-pound pet
water monitor, has led him around the world, as a
university student studying zoology in Kenya, as a
wildlife photographer in Madagascar and Southeast Asia,
and ultimately as a documentary filmmaker in the Pacific
shooting his innovative and award-winning documentary
''Sharkwater.'' Risking arrest and mafia reprisal in
Costa Rica, nearly losing a leg to flesh-eating disease
in Panama and getting lost at sea in the remote
Galapagos Islands, Stewart is living proof that the best
way to create change in the world is to dive in over
your head. His documentary sparked shark fin bans around
the world, but his story doesn't end with saving sharks.
Stewart has set his sights on a slightly bigger
goal--saving the human species. He has criss-crossed the
globe to meet with the visionaries, entrepreneurs,
scientists and children working to solve our
environmental crises, and his message is clear: the
revolution to save humanity has started and the only
thing missing is you! |
