Description:
In the 1960s, against the backdrop of Africa's diverse landscape, Lake Victoria becomes the setting for an ecological and societal drama. As a scientific experiment, the Nile perch - a voracious predator - is introduced to the lake, unleashing devastating consequences on its native inhabitants. This environmental upheaval not only leads to the extinction of several species but also initiates a disturbing cycle where the export of this fish's meat is exchanged for weapons worldwide.This dark twist in nature highlights the grim reality of globalization and the corruption it can foster, as the once harmonious ecosystem transforms into an infernal nightmare that directly contradicts Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories. The movie delves deep into the repercussions of man-induced ecological imbalances while exploring how these disruptions affect both the natural world and human society on a global scale.
