Fishermen in Tanzania sell their hauls of huge Nile Perch to European markets via the cargo planes that land regularly at the nearby airport. Meanwhile, they live in extreme poverty and ironically suffer from a famine. Those who suffer the most are the children, who live miserably on the streets of Mwanza. Disarming documentary with some shocking footage and unbelievable interviews with both those who profit from the fish industry and those who languish in its unbreakable cycle of poverty.
