Darwin's Nightmare - Documentary

fkface

Some time in the 1960's, in the heart of Africa, a new animal was introduced into Lake Victoria as a little scientific experiment.

The Nile Perch, a voracious predator, extinguished almost the entire stock of the native fish species. However, the new fish multiplied so fast, that its white fillets are today exported all around the world, mainly Europe.

Huge hulking ex-Soviet cargo planes come daily to collect the latest catch in exchange for their southbound cargo… Kalashnikovs and ammunitions for the uncounted wars in the dark center of the continent.

This booming multinational industry of fish and weapons has created an ungodly globalized alliance on the shores of the world’s biggest tropical lake: an army of local fishermen, World bank agents, homeless children, African ministers, EU-commissioners, Tanzanian prostitutes and Russian pilots.

I just wanted to share this video because you'll see that even when there was a famine in Tanzania affecting 2 million people, they were exporting fish that fed 2 million Europeans.

I once heard someone say "Africa is unable to feed itself because it can't grow enough food" . . .

This is extremely ignorant and people in Europe are not properly educated on the REAL problems facing Africa which is WE in the industrialized world are exploiting this continent and it's people for profit . . .

People in Africa are suffering because of our own ignorance and greed in the developed world, not because they in the third world don't have enough food.

I stuck with that for nearly an hour despite the lack of subtitles and only about half of it being in english. Then it stopped working. Other than the description you wrote I haven't a clue what that was all about.
