Stolen Fish
In the Gambia, fish are processed into fish meal by Chinese factories and exported to Europe and China for animal feed. As a result, Gambians are deprived of their primary source of protein and overfishing is depleting marine ecosystems. The film follows Abou, Mariama, and Paul, who share intimate stories of their daily struggles, anger, and hope.
