Hell or Clean Water Trailer:

As Shawn dives into harbors in search of sea urchins, he discovers something much more profound and soul-crushing. The ocean floors are covered in an overwhelming amount of waste, from tires and boat parts to fishing equipment and plastics. Shawn soon becomes obsessed with cleaning up the mess and quits his job to single-handedly remove thousands of pounds of trash from the ocean. However, this mission comes at a cost, and Shawn soon finds himself in a financial bind with little help from the government and only small donations. Despite the mounting pressure, he never loses hope and continues to fight for what he believes in.

Shawn Bath’s story is an inspiration to anyone who wants to try to make a difference. Through his dedication and perseverance, he reminds us that even one person can make a significant impact on the world. So strap on your scuba tank and prepare for a heart-wrenching journey in Hell or Clean Water.
