Refreshing Documentary Work - Sandgrains

Almost every week we get asked to post a new conservation documentary trailer on our website and blog. Most never make it, there's a vetting process here as we look for documentaries that are in a word, "refreshing."

We're looking for subject matter that matters. We generally pass on self promoting media foks who have little to offer the wider conservation scene aside from a pretty face, some pablum based conservation talking points, and a website.

Instead we tend to admire and promote those who take the craft of documentary work with all the seriousness it deserves and Sandgrains is one of those well crafted works that deserves a first, second, and third look.

Kudos to the entire team from Matchbox Media who are behind this.

Home run undercover work on shark fin trade - Greenpeace, Oceana, Shark Alliance, PRETOMA

One of those videos that take your breath away, the shark fin trade exposed via Crime Scene Wild. Sadly this clip is not getting the broader channel exposure it needs because competing shark fin groups are not exactly crossing the line to promote it.

Ahh, shark conservation, amazing isn't it?

We all say we love sharks but when push comes to shove, no matter how impressive the reach and media messaging, if the idea didn't come from your little camp, you're not going to push it.

We will, for one reason only - this is first rate work without the hyperbole.
