"The Explorer Who Wasn't Quite Honest: Steve's Story"

Money was always a big motivator for Steve. He loved the thrill of the hunt, and he was very successful in his expeditions- until one fateful trip to the ocean floor. Rumors have circulated for years about what really happened on that dive, and now a new documentary is finally shedding light on the true story.

Steve was never quite honest with his sponsors about what he found down there... and it cost him dearly. He never managed to live it down, and his reputation was tarnished for good. The money he made from his documentaries dried up, and he was forced to abandon his dreams of exploring the ocean. Sad story, but at least now the truth is out there.

Why did Ned give him all of his inheritance? I know he hoped that Steve Z was his father, but he shot blanks. I wish Ned would have found that out before he died. But it didn't stop Steve from taking the money. It came with a great sacrifice.

Ned could of left money to his kids one day, but he also stipulated in his will that the money could only be used for a documentary about Steve Z. So, even though it was a dirty secret, Steve took the money and started production on his movie.

The film tells the story of how Steve became an explorer against all odds, and how he ultimately took the lives of others just to make the film.
