Produced by Lionsgate and its Pilgrim Media Group company in association with Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s Appian Way Productions, <em>FIN<\/em> will bow on discovery+ on July 13 as part of Discovery\u2019s Shark Week.<\/p>\n<p><em>FIN<\/em> features work from photographer Michael Muller and the support of organizations such as Oceana, Sea Shepherd, and Wild Aid. DiCaprio executive produces the film along with actor, producer and shark activist Nina Dobrev and Craig Piligian, president of Lionsgate Nonfiction Television and Pilgrim CEO and Chair.<\/p>\n<p>Roth said: \u201c<em>FIN<\/em> is the scariest film I\u2019ve 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. It\u2019s an honor to be joined by Leonardo DiCaprio to bring it to discovery+ audiences, and I couldn\u2019t 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\u2019s time to do the same for sharks, and time is running out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiscovery is the undisputed leader in shark programming and we will extend that expertise into the streaming space this summer on discovery+, with must-see content for shark lovers and enthusiasts. Perhaps no project is more important and timely than FIN, as we bring awareness to the serious threats these beautiful fish are facing,\u201d said Lisa Holme, Group SVP of Content and Commercial Strategy for Discovery, Inc. \u201cEli Roth put together a remarkable film with support from Leonardo DiCaprio and Nina Dobrev, and we are honored to share it with the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Piligian said: \u201cWorking with Eli and the group of experts on this documentary has been mind-blowing and immensely educational. For years, we\u2019ve perceived sharks as monsters but what\u2019s truly monstrous is what\u2019s happening to these beautiful creatures. Eli\u2019s care, hard work and research on this important cause is evident in the remarkable production value of the film and its riveting effect. It\u2019s a passion project for all of us involved and discovery+ is the perfect home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>discovery+ has acquired FIN, a documentary written, directed and executive produced by Eli Roth that unveils the truth behind the death of millions of sharks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":16395,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[82,5611,5612],"class_list":["post-16394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-discovery","tag-eli-roth","tag-fin","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>discovery+ Picks Up Eli Roth\u2019s FIN - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-picks-up-eli-roths-fin\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"discovery+ Picks Up Eli Roth\u2019s FIN - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"discovery+ has acquired FIN, a documentary written, directed and executive produced by Eli Roth that unveils the truth behind the death of millions of sharks.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-picks-up-eli-roths-fin\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-06-28T14:25:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-06-28T16:03:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/fin-eli-roth-discovery-621.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"398\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-picks-up-eli-roths-fin\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-picks-up-eli-roths-fin\/\",\"name\":\"discovery+ Picks Up Eli Roth\u2019s FIN - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-06-28T14:25:58+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-06-28T16:03:24+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-picks-up-eli-roths-fin\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-picks-up-eli-roths-fin\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-picks-up-eli-roths-fin\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"discovery+ Picks Up Eli Roth\u2019s FIN\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
