“He’s really going to go bad for us”: It came out 20 years ago, this wonderful thriller -style documentary is a masterpiece of genre

Although it is naturally different from fictional works, the emotional field opened by the documentary can be absolutely devastating. Because it addresses things that sometimes refer to intimate, questions that are deeply shocked and asked about our relationships, others, others, and living things. In this sense, the discovery of Darwin’s nightmare is distinguished as a major discovery.

The mind -boggling origin of the mind in hell

The subject of this movie, directed by Hubert Supper? In Tanzania, in the 1960s, the Nile Perch, a huge prey, brought to Victoria’s lake as a scientific experiment. Since then, virtually all local fish populations have been destroyed.

The fertile industry was born from this ecological disaster, as the white meat of huge fish has been successfully exported to the Northern Hemisphere. Fishermen, politicians, Russian pilots, industrialists and European companies are drama actors who go beyond the borders of the African country …

The least we can say is that the image painted in this extraordinary film is truly apocalyptic. By the force of the upper part, the director drives us to the mind in hell, in the most perverse state of liberalism, in which several people enrich themselves as an uneven exchange that hunger strike the population and weapons that put conflicts in the region.

A documentary that has a gap of darkness, which is covered by rewards worldwide (including an Oscar nomination for the best documentary), Darwin’s nightmare is both exciting and unlikely to show.

Because it is the most terrible capitalism that has won, in the sense of the most Darwin. In other words: the global March of the economy is governed by the strongest law. Fifteen years later, unfortunately the results didn’t really improve, on the contrary …

A very live confrontation

Beyond the explosion, which was caused by the documentary and the result of surprise, Darwin’s nightmare was a very live debate, as for its truth, first in the Libration article, on February 27, 2006, a few days later published by Le Monde contrast.

At the same time, the most blamed accusation was followed by historian François Garson, who appealed the seriousness of the facts presented, namely the truth of weapons trafficking, in the 2005 article in the Les Temps Modernes magazine. Then in 2006 in the work published by Flemarion in 2006, in 2006. Darwin’s nightmare investigation.

As it was heated, the confrontation then moved to the legal field: with the repeated accusations of Garson, Hubert Super filed a defamation complaint in January 2008. The historian was first sentenced by the Paris Criminal Court on February 22 with a penalty against Hubert Sufer, confirming that he had to confirm the director that he had argued that he had to prove that he had to prove that he had to prove that the director had to prove that Confirmed that he argued that “Play and repeat scenes.”

However, the court considered that the historian had no other comments “Exceeded the permissible boundaries of the right to criticism”Especially when he described “Incredibly dishonest process” Confirmation of the connection between children around the lake and the trade of perch when he denied the reality of weapons trade and the destination of the fish frame for human consumption. François Garson appealed the decision but lost.

According to the verdict on March 11, 2009, the Court of Appeal confirmed that François Garrson had no “It is clear that not enough factual grounds to make such a accusation against the manipulation and deception of children regarding the reality of the situations taken by him.” (For the details of the case, A very interesting article published by Télérama has returned to the facts).

The legal struggle that left its mark on the filmmaker. When we met him in September 2015, when his new (and remarkable) documentary, we came to be released, he was released, he spent six years with the greatest mysteries.

“The secret was necessary because I had been out of the motionless period after my previous film, full of hatred, which were orchestrated by a group who wanted me to harm and destroy. He told us during our long interview.

“This is really going to go bad for us.”

What he concluded with these pessimistic notes, just like the epitaph for his terrible documentary Darwin’s nightmare:

“Americans say it will deteriorate before it gets better.

At this point, everything will be bad for us, and it may be too late to act. To some extent, across human beings, I think the future of the planet here is dangerous in Africa. ”

Never came out on Blu-Ray, Darwin’s nightmare came out on DVD 20 years ago, but you can still find it. It is also available on VOD.
