Revolution is a film about changing the world. The true-life adventure of Rob Stewart, this follow-up to his acclaimed SHARKWATER documentary continues his remarkable journey; one that will take him through 15 countries over four years, and where he'll discover that it's not only sharks that are in grave danger -- it's humanity itself.
In an effort to uncover the truth and find the secret to saving the ecosystems we depend on for survival, Stewart embarks on a life-threatening adventure. From the coral reefs in Papua New Guinea and deforestation in Madagascar to the largest and most destructive environmental project in history in Alberta, Canada, he reveals that all of our actions are interconnected and that environmental degradation, species loss, ocean acidification, pollution and food/water scarcity are reducing the Earth's ability to house humans. How did this happen, and what will it take to change the course that humanity has set itself on?
Travelling the globe to meet with the dedicated individuals and organizations working on a solution, Stewart finds encouragement and hope, pointing to the revolutions of the past and how we've evolved and changed our course in times of necessity. If people were informed about what was really going on, they would fight for their future -- and the future of other generations. From the evolution of our species to the revolution to save it, Stewart and his team take viewers on a groundbreaking mission into the greatest war ever waged.
Startling, beautiful, and provocative, Revolution inspires audiences from across the globe to start a revolution and change the world forever.
Rob Stewart's 2007 debut documentary Sharkwater had the largest opening weekend of any Canadian documentary film of all time. Naturally, the director thought financing his next film, Revolution, about the environmental problems plaguing the world, would be easier to produce.
It almost was.
"At one point, we had $5-million and were shooting in 3D and I had 11 people travelling with me, but then I spray-painted myself green at the biggest environmental rally in the history of Canada and told the press, 'We don't need environmental policy, we need revolution,' and all of our money fell away," says Stewart, 32, an underwater photographer and author, who released his first book, Save the Humans, last month. "Overnight our budget dropped from $5-million to $150,000 and I had to fire everyone working with me, buy some plane tickets and two cameras, and I left for a year and came back with my film."
According to Stewart, investors grew nervous about the film's radical environmental message: that human beings are killing the forests and oceans at a pace that would define the time we live in as the fifth great extinction period in the 3.5 million-year history of the world ~ http://www.therevolutionmovie.com/reviews/

... ;) thanks Peekay
we all know what would happened if we to put all eggs into one basket, however awareness is awareness, how many people feel that something is wrong with everything - than the weather man comes out and says it's all 'normal' and they say ok ... maybe divine energy redirecting people to listen to their intuition more and to their conscious and not somebody else who has no interest in well being of this planet and people, and to "stop running after the 'carrot' and maybe grow or just get it ourselves" ... ;)) - metaphorically speaking. And it would take ALL of us to make it possible ... any change requires a Sacrifice ... that's the first rule to make a difference.
I'm glad to see you're also an optimist with planet Earth, Ara. Canada's filmmakers are obviously not influenced by Hollywood or Austin. The search for the truth and for potential consequences of actions from people we trust will sometimes hurt, and it obviously gets attention for debate.
the sad part is debating about 'fatal illness' would not change anything, finding the cure would. This planet is bombarded from all sides, it's looks more and more like a sinking ship with too many holes to patch ... now that would be an inheritance for the next generation... and it would go like this: "once upon a time, the polar bears roamed the north' ... actually it makes no sense, why would anybody "pees where they sleep" is beyond me?
the movie is great, i had chills watching it ;)) thanks Malcolm ;)
there is 88 known constellations and 12 that still pending to be discovered, so i would say that i feel connected to all ;)) - why?;))
