      From the Pond of Dreams to the Abyss of Sin

      This is Darwin's dream pond, now facing ecological disaster. The culprit of all this stemmed from the introduction of a big fish, which ate other fish species, and its huge body became the food of human beings, and an industry was built around it. The diversity of creatures in the dream pond disappeared, and it became the world of the Nile perch. The surrounding fishermen also paid a heavy price for this.

      This is the scene described in the documentary "Darwin's Nightmare", which was...

      Look what's happening in poor Africa,

      I missed it that year, and I saw it today at Arte. At that time, I was inviting Fadi, my Lebanese classmate, to eat the Indian dinner I made: Indian yogurt + onion yogurt salad + Indian roast chicken. Saw the poor, thought it was in India, Fadi said where did India come from so black, saw the fish, saw the fish, saw the fish, the invasive perch that ate all the other species in Lake Victor, the perch that was sold to Europe, Reminds me of that movie poster. The result, sure enough. At the end,...

      social fringe

      The most vulnerable part of human society, the weakest part of human society, and the soft underbelly of the entire human civilization may lie in Africa. In the past, Africa was the cradle of the origin of human civilization, but now it has become the largest abscess and festering place.

      In the past, Africa was a colony, and a lot of raw materials and labor were plundered. After liberation, Africa is still a colony, but a colony dressed in the skin of democracy and freedom. It used to...

      who's nightmare

      I watched Darwin's Nightmare by Hubert Sauper in class. Seeing that my heart was congested, I felt breathless, but no one cried, not even a choked choking sound. The heavy truth makes people cry. Only American sensational films with "isn`t it horrible?" narration like to make people cry. People are really interesting animals, and they are often moved by themselves.

      This film is a good anthropological film. Maybe some fundamentalists of ethnographic films may jump out to refute, but...

      To a large extent, the subject matter determines the success or failure of the documentary. Of course, it also determines the difficulty of filming and the height of the idea. From the various influences of fish on the local area, it tells the local people and life, and at the same time exposes more transactions under cover. These are small stories The piecing together has created a great pattern. I have to sigh the courage to choose this topic and the ability to grasp this social...

    Background creation

    The film reveals the problems of environmental pollution and biological imbalances facing society in a large number of details. The Victoria River basin in Tanzania, the East African country, is turning into a land of violence, disease and despair.
    The cause of the incident dates back to the introduction of the Nile squid as a new species into the Victoria River in the 1960s. The emergence of this fish almost wiped out other fish in the...
