Darwin's Nightmare
Hubert Sauper's Oscar-nominated documentary about the Nile perch and the ecological disaster which has followed the introduction of the species into Lake Victoria in the 60s.
Hubert Sauper's Oscar-nominated documentary about the Nile perch, a species introduced into Lake Victoria as an experiment in the sixties.
