Every scrap <strong>of</strong> fish - no matter how badly decomposed, muddy, or maggot-infested - is carefullycollected and hung up to dry on densely-packed wooden frames. <strong>The</strong> factory-processed perchfillets are beyond the means <strong>of</strong> most Tanzanians to buy, so millions must instead subsist on thisdecaying factory refuse. Impressively, Sauper does not single out any one person or group <strong>of</strong>people as evil-doers - not even the factory owners. Rather, the interviews and scenes depicted inthe film lead the viewer to the inevitable yet unspoken conclusion that the capitalist system <strong>of</strong>exploitation itself is the culprit. "[W]herever prime raw material is discovered, the locals die inmisery, their sons become soldiers, and their daughters are turned into servants and whores,''writes Sauper on the film's website. "It seems that the individual participants within a deadlysystem don't have ugly faces, and for the most part, no bad intentions.''____________________________________________________________8.
