DESCRIPTION:During the 60s a new fish was introduced into Lake Victoria. Voraciously 
 predatory, the Nile Perch multiplied rapidly, killing off almost the entire 
 stock of native fish. Now the Nile Perch is exported all around the world, 
 whilst the lakeside villagers who are completely dependent on the fishing 
 industry for their living are too impoverished to afford to eat it.   
 Hubert Sauper's incisive documentary is a damning analysis of the global 
 economic and political interests at play in one of Africa's most beautiful 
 and fertile regions. Huge ex-Soviet cargo planes, which fly in to load up 
 with fish, arrive packed with Kalashnikovs and ammunition 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. (107 min, 2004)
