Africa's smallest nation, the Gambia, is running out of fish: "before you'll just stand here and see fish jumping, but now it's no more... overfishing" says Abou, a local fisherman. Protests are either ignored or punished. "The government seems not to be doing any effort, because we have seen so many activists arrested in the Gambia" says a speaker at a council meeting. Instead international fishing businesses continue to flourish, and the promises of hundreds of jobs have turned out to be an illusionary mirage. Searching for a life elsewhere often proves deadly: "I learnt four of my friends died during the journey" says Paul.
