The story of the film takes place in 2001, the year of the 9/11 terrorist attack. Today, local farmers are still in the primitive agricultural stage of watching the sky and harvesting the grain. Malawi is a country after all. The government's governance ability and the personal level of the president may not be as good as the village committees and village party secretaries of the Chinese dynasty. I have seen a story of a Chinese entrepreneur in Lilongwe (the capital of Malawi), where the Chinese competed with the local wealthy Indians (Malawi was a British colony and came with the British colonists) in the market, in real estate, communications, daily necessities In all fields, there is basically nothing local people do. Of course, the government controlled by the indigenous people has the right to speak, and the Indians have done a better job of collusion between politics and business. It is said that the country once issued a decree prohibiting farting in public places. Malawi has Lake Malawi, which is extremely rich in fishery resources, but it is still one of the least developed countries in the world. The local people who are rich and cool will naturally not consider building water conservancy projects that will benefit future generations. The film is caused by food shortages. The robbery, riot, death reminded me again of the little plum line in "Blood Diamond": sometimes I wonder...will god ever forgive us for what we'v done to eachother. then I look around and I realize god left this place a long time ago.
