"The Fishermen of Lake Victoria"

This documentary short, produced as part of the New England Aquarium's Nyanja: Africa's Inland Sea, an exhibit on Lake Victoria, illustrates how daily life in fishing villages here has evolved into two very distinct patterns, and underscores how heavily dependent these local economies are on the lake's fisheries, which are straining under the weight of over-fishing and pollution.
