Emperors of the Deep | LIVING SHARKS FILMFEST

Film screening

Emperors of the Deep is a unique documentary based on the bestselling book that takes the viewer on a journey into the world of sharks. The writer and director, Bill McKeever, witnesses a shark tournament in Montauk. He is so shocked that he investigates further and exposes how shark tournaments kill scores of sharks for pleasure.

His tournament discovery generates more questions about what is happening to sharks and the threats that they face.  He travels around the world to meet with experts and dive with sharks.  As he does so, he uncovers more death and destruction on the high seas than one could possible imagine. His discoveries change how the viewer see sharks.
