Google Video is one of the best things on the internet. Too bad they stopped the uploading.
I had a vision last night of the television industry attacking internet video sites so they'd crash and people would have to go back to watching TV again...
Don't get me wrong, introducing foreign species like the Nile perch is dangerous at best. And it's a tragedy in this case.
But the movie tries to imply that the Nile perch related trade is worse then the alternative. That's despite that every person they ask TELLS them as much as this sucks, what we did before sucked worse.
Then there's the whole SPOILER alert: Africa exports fish, imports guns for war and European kinds get grapes in winter while Europe exports guns.
Except that's racist B.S. Africa is continent, South Africa is the country that export the grapes. Poor eastern European countries exported the guns, rich Western Europe imported the grapes. And it was African countries at war that imported guns. This is nothing to do with Nile perch.
And then there's intercuting the fish factories with the steet kids. What's that supposed to tell us? That the exporters don't care enough the poverty at home? What about all the jobs they create. Perhaps that more money should go toward eradicating the Nile perch, is that even possible?
That the Nile perch was introduced for trade? But it wasn't, people were stupid and it was introduced for food.
That allowing trade makes things worse? But the gun trade has nothing to do with the perch, except they both happen to use the same planes. Does that mean the airports are bad too?

In Angola, they are fighting over Diamonds and Oil.
In Congo, it's Copper, Cobalt, and Coltan
These are all wars started by the west using Africans to fight the war by proxy.
