Mgongowazi is the part of the nile perch - head, skin and bones - that is not exported from the fish factories surrounding Lake Victoria. Instead it is collected, eaten and traded locally by the poor. In 2003 and 2004, we made a series of six films about the mgongowazi-eaters with young women from the three countries around Lake Victoria.
