Darwin's Nightmare

This film should be viewed by every person who has the luxury of eating a steak dinner, driving a new car, flying in an airplane, living in a nice house in a nice neighborhood, going to good schools, etc, etc.  People of the western world and of technologically and economically developed countries need to see this film.  It not only depicts how the Tanzanian fish industry on lake Victoria is being taken advantage of, but it shows the manipulation of a natural resource, the destruction of a lake, weapons dealing to Africa, and most importantly it conveys the way of life for most of these Tanzanians living around the lake.  The horrors of everyday life and the constant struggles that it presents.  People living in their 300k-500k neighborhoods in the suburbs, driving around their new Tahoe, and eating out at Saltgrass don't understand the daily pains these people can go through.  In the film about 15-20 boys made a pot of food on an open fire by the lake.  Once it was done they were scrambling and fighting each other just to grab one hand full of the food.  A hand full, no silverware, all those kids got to eat for dinner that night was a hand full of what looked like rice.  While we leave more that that left on our plates when we go out to eat that'll just get tossed into the trash.  What it comes down to is greed.  There is something wrong with our world when we cannot feed those who are hungry, even when there is enough food being produce worldwide to easily feed everyone.  There is something extremely wrong with our world when a fishing community produces hundreds of tons of fish for European export, but cannot support their own hunger needs due to the cost of the fish after they catch it.
