Darwin's Nightmare

Darwin's Nightmare is a stark and unflinching documentary that primarily elicits strong negative emotional responses. Viewers are overwhelmed by Sadness and Empathy for the exploited African communities and the environmental devastation of Lake Victoria. A profound sense of Anger and Disgust is directed towards the capitalist interests and illicit gun trade perpetuating the violence and suffering. The film's raw depiction of reality is deeply Disturbing, fostering significant Anxiety about the future of the region and a pervasive Melancholy over the seemingly insurmountable challenges. A sense of Guilt may arise in viewers from developed nations, reflecting on global complicity in such systems. While offering little positive emotion, the film does evoke Curiosity to understand the complex issues and a faint Hope for awareness and change, alongside a minor sense of Inspiration to reflect or act.
