Cineclub 19 August: Darwin's Nightmare
13 Aug 08
August and September are fishy months at Peacock and the next Cineclub night presents you Darwin's Nightmare by Hubert Sauper. A tale of how a booming multinational industry of fish and weapons has created a sinister globalised alliance on the shores of the world's biggest tropical lake in Tanzania in the early 1990s. Sauper combines bizarre sights with jaw-dropping revelations, a striking cast of characters with global awareness. It's not to be missed. Tuesday 19 August, 7pm, entry free.
