Darwin's Nightmare
2005 · 107 MIN · IMDB 7.4 · 5,707 VOTES · DIR. Hubert Sauper
Overview
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.
