Golden Fish, African Fish
Synopsis
The Casamance Region, in southern Senegal, is one of the last refuge hubs for non-industrial fishing in West Africa, employing around 15,000 people, fishermen, fish processors and migrant workers. "Golden Fish, African Fish" documents the way of life that depends on this artisanal fishing, which guarantees food security in numerous African countries. Meanwhile, increasing foreign competition from China puts this hub at risk: the factories that process the fish turn it into animal or plant feed instead of human food. So far, these women and men have been resisting. But for how much longer ?
