As very well explained in another review, this is a documentary on the social, economic and environmental effect of fishing the Nile perch in Tanzania's Lake Victoria. It ends up mirroring a real social hell of our greedy south-north commercial interchange. It is definitely not recommended for people suffering of some sort of depression, the images of how small innocent children need to survive is absolutely heart-breaking and it seems to take all the beauty of their bursting energy out forcing us (air-conditioned movie watchers) to face reality. There is also a good coverage of how perverse economic trades take place on detriment of the local people and in the benefit of some mysterious well off people skies away (in this case called Europe but the idea behind could be any power of rabid colonialism). There is no much environmental content though, the biodiversity loss that the predatory fish has on the Lake has as maximum '3 minutes of the whole movie. A well intentioned review of human misery.
