A devastating documentary exposé of ecological collapse and global exploitation, where the introduction of an invasive species becomes a metaphor for systemic corruption and human suffering.

Africa in the sixties. The Nile perch, a ravenous predator, is introduced into Lake Victoria as a scientific experiment, causing the extinction of many native species. Its meat is exported everywhere in exchange for weapons, creating a globalized evil alliance on the lake shores. An infernal nightmare in the real world that wipes out Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
