They're better of using the money to organize such a conference and spend it on housing projects or health work. We had a good laugh here while watching those ministers trying to look important and not saying anything at all with their dumb arguments.

The exploited and exploiter, each with their story. I liked the part where the man in the documentary being shown to the leader of the region in a conference in Kenya when the obviously disgusted man says " One man, one bucket" meaning the introduction of the Nile Perch in Lake Victoria which in return destroyed the ecosystem of the largest tropical lake in the world! @Jke : Raphael was an interesting character. He has this demeaner about him that comes off as dangerous but yet he is an intelligent man who dreams of his son being a Pilot someday ..of fish? . I remember him saying though" you go to war to kill" Woi.. that not a man I would want to mess with ... Very nice documentary.... "Scramble for resources" Finally watched this documentary and it evoked so many emotions in me. The exploited and exploiter, each with their story.

I had hoped that you had seen this award-winning documentary at the cinema here in Germany but that doesn't seem to be the case. I did find a good review of the film over at the Boston Globe in case your readers are interested. Read the Globe's Dec 12, 2005 artilce "Darwin's Nightmare Movie Review". Here is the URL: http://www.boston.com/movies/display?display=movie&id=8694 I found a very good trailer of the film over at download.com's video site with play options for both Windows Media Player and Macromedia Flash Video. It's a pity that Hubert Sauper doesn't offer more video info from the film over at his website(s) albeit his director's notes and background info are comprehensive. Ukrainian and Russian pilots running around down in the African Great Lakes Region, financed by European companies involved in the imported Nile Perch business. Deadly combination for the people of the region. As that fat, disgusting-looking Ukrainian Anatov driver (cargo plane pilot) said in the film while denigrating his Tanzanian prostitute girlfriend, "...business is business." P.S. 007 in Africa (blog) did a review of Michel Thierry's documentary on the Congo River last year, but I am not sure if it is the same film you are interested in viewing. He's done a couple of award-winning films on the DRC. If you find a good trailer or the "whole tamale" online, let me know. Please. Thanks for this tip JKE (?) on Darwin’s Nightmare.
