Acompañaremos al flamenco africano por su ciclo vital, muy ligado a los proceso naturales ocurridos en el lago Natron, Tanzania. Su alta concentración en carbonato sódico, provocado por fenómenos eruptivos del volcán Lengai, convierten la zona en un lugar inhóspito excepto para los flamencos. Éstos encuentra en las formaciones salinas un lugar ideal para resurgir de las cenizas como el ave Fénix. Un magistral documental, lleno de imágenes inolvidables acompañadas por una banda sonora exquisita. De una sensibilidad extrema, directa al corazón.

Las orillas del mayor lago tropical del mundo, también considerado como la cuna de la humanidad, se han convertido en el escenario de la peor pesadilla de la globalización. En los años sesenta, en Tanzania, la perca del Nilo, un voraz depredador, fue introducida en el lago Victoria con fines científicos. Desde entonces, casi todas las poblaciones autóctonas de peces han sido diezmadas. Pero esta catástrofe ecológica dio a luz a una fructuosa industria ya que la carne blanca de la enorme perca se exporta a todo el hemisferio norte. Pescadores, políticos, pilotos rusos, prostitutas y comisarios europeos son los actores de un drama que va más allá de las fronteras de Tanzania. En el cielo, enormes aviones de carga procedentes de la ex Unión Soviética pasan por encima del lago, abriendo las puertas a un nuevo comercio: el de las armas.

Mbwana and his best friend Juma are two young men with big dreams. These dreams become reality when they photograph a gigantic fish leaping out of the sea and their small town blossoms into a tourist hot-spot as a result.

Jonah is a big fish story about the old and the new, and the links and the distances between them. A visual feast, shot though with humour and warmth, it tells an old story in a completely new way.
