Greenpeace showcase The Lonely Shark

The new film from Greenpeace The Lonely Shark tells a story of love and loss, set against the backdrop of a hugely destructive fishing technique. 

Created by Spindle Studio in partnership with Red Knuckles, the 3D animation features a haunting soundtrack by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, to deliver a poignant warning about the devastating effects overfishing for profit has on shark species and other marine life.

Aakash Naik, Head of Communications and Engagement for Greenpeace’s Protect the Oceans campaign, said: “This beautiful animated film brings the horrors of industrial fishing home. This is happening every day on the high seas, and sharks are suffering. In the last 50 years, shark populations globally have plummeted by 70%. Something has to be done. We need a strong Global Ocean Treaty this year, to help sharks and all other marine life recover from centuries of human exploitation.”
