Considering what the film shows us, what does globalization, our consumption, the banks (IMF and WB) and the corporations do to a country like Tanzania ?

Darwin's nightmare.

This film shatters the bubble that residents in the Global North, or "developed" countries, create for themselves. It reminds us that more then half the world doesn't worry about getting the newest Ipad, they worry about if they will have a next meal.

Who is to blame for the pathetic state of things? The very same people who forget that half the world is like this. It started with imperialism, a long complicated history of European invaders lead to corrupt systems of power and masses of poor uneducated people. Then the European presence is replaced with an imperative to "develop", the economy is the only thing that matters. While millions starve, food is exported out of the country so profits can be maintained. The banks funnel in money so that the economy will "rescue the country", but the profits go to western companies and the money is nowhere to be seen. Jobs are of the utmost importance, it's either find a job or join the military. Otherwise, you can't feed yourself, nor your children. Globalization ensures that industry is put before the welfare of the people, and the western hunger for profit puts guns in the hands of anyone who will buy them.

The volatile region was created by white men, and now it is continually fueled by it. Food is exported, guns are imported. The natural conclusion is war. We hear it all the time, this country is fighting that country, some other country is in the midst of a revolution or divided by a civil war. No one seems to bat an eye anymore. Whether it is the corporations that deceive us into thinking profits come before human life or we put blinders on ourselves, we need to wake up and realize the atrocities we are forcing people to live through and commit. Our taste for fish does not mean millions should starve, our need for profit shouldn't put a country on the streets, and our beliefs shouldn't hinder us from stopping millions of deaths.

Globalization is a disease, the corporations are actual viruses, and the banks are the pseudoscience that people seem to think will cure it. There is not a Global South country in the world that is not being taken advantage of by the Global North, the corporations exploit natural resources and destroy the natural way of life in too many ways too count. The banks swoop in and offer to fix everything, but only end up making way for more corporations to exploit faster. We are to blame. We are the problem, now we have to think of ways to be the solution.
