Sharkwater Gets Blu-ray Release Date

As we reported a few days ago, National Geographic revealed that they are now Blu-ray exclusive, and their first Blu-ray only HD will be 'Sharkwater'. Well, we now have a release date and specs for that release: National Geographic will release 'Sharkwater' for Blu-ray on April 8th, day-and-date with the DVD release. Video will be presented in 1080p (most likely VC-1) with a Dolby Digital soundtrack. The only extra announced so far is a making-of featurette.

For filmmaker Rob Stewart, exploring sharks began as an underwater adventure. What it turned into was a beautiful and dangerous life journey into the balance of life on earth.

Driven by passion fed from a lifelong fascination with sharks, Stewart debunks historical stereotypes and media depictions of sharks as bloodthirsty, man-eating monsters and reveals the reality of sharks as pillars in the evolution of the seas.

Filmed in visually stunning, high definition video, Sharkwater takes you into the most shark rich waters of the world, exposing the exploitation and corruption surrounding the world's shark populations in the marine reserves of Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.
