'Darwin's Nightmare' movie talk is Feb. 12
"Darwin's Nightmare," an examination of the underbelly of globalization, is the focus of the next Movie Talk series sponsored by the Friends of the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 12.

The Movie Talk, which is free and open to the public, will follow the 2:30 p.m. screening of "Darwin's Nightmare." Admission to the screening is at regular price.
John Janovy Jr., author and professor of biology at UNL, and Les Manns, professor of economics at Doane College, will lead the discussion on the issues raised in the documentary, which is on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' list for the Best Feature Documentary Oscar nominations.
"Darwin's Nightmare" is the stranger-than-fiction tale of two relentless killing machines: the Nile Perch which, over the course of a few decades, ate through everything that used to live in Tanzania's Lake Victoria; and the foreign capitalists who introduced that non-native fish in order to sell it to European consumers.
Losing out to both of these are the local Tanzanians who once lived off the lake's bounty, and now, literally, are left with bones and rotting carcasses.
