This Shark Week, get ready to investigate the unsettling truth behind the death of millions of sharks with new Eli Roth film, FIN. In the discovery+ film, Roth and a professional group of scientists, researchers and activists sail around the globe to unveil the real story, exposing the criminal enterprise that is impacting the extinction of the misunderstood creatures.

FIN features work from photographer Michael Muller and the support of organizations such as Oceana, Sea Shepherd, and Wild Aid. Oscar® winner Leonardo DiCaprio executive produces the film along with actor, producer and shark activist Nina Dobrev.

“Fin is the scariest film I’ve ever made, and certainly the most dangerous, but I wanted to send a message of hope to end this needless massacre of sharks. They keep our oceans clean to produce half our oxygen, and they deserve our respect and deserve to be saved, especially now when the shark fin sales ban is going before the house,” said Roth. “It’s an honor to be joined by Leonardo DiCaprio to bring it to discovery+ audiences, and I couldn’t have done this film without the incredible support of Lionsgate and the amazing team at Pilgrim. I wanted to show the crisis from all sides and paired with an action campaign we can make the change necessary to protect them. Fifty years ago the world came together to save the whales, then we did it for dolphins, and recently for Orcas. It’s time to do the same for sharks, and time is running out.”

FIN will begin streaming on Tuesday, July 13th exclusively on discovery+ as part of the Shark Week, which begins on Suday, July 11th. In addition to watching the film on discovery+, viewers can join the conversation on social media with #theFinmovie and follow discovery+ on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok for more updates.
