I thought Fishing Without Nets was a very good movie. It was also very interesting when it comes to representing the Somalian citizens. I felt there was some kind of exaggeration for the depth of their situation. As the pirates turned on each other so easily, which I feel would not occur based on crew that is built and made from the people around the area. Many of the people that go on the mission as a pirate are the fishermen and the criminals. I still do not completely understand how the interactions are made, as someone just gets on the phone and after a while, the money is there. I just do not see very powerful countries talking to pirates from Somalia. Back to the main story line. The main character is a fisherman, and he has a wife and a child. He pays smugglers to get them out of the country, but he has to stay as he does not have enough money. He remains fishing, and eventually settles on becoming a pirate, as there are no fish in the sea any longer. The pirates find a boat, and there are only 2 French people on the boat, with no cargo. I do not quite remember the amount of money they were given, but eventually everything turns. The pirates turn on each other, and one of the French men are killed and the other is taken back to the shore. The main character is still on the boat when the plane drops the money. The ending is very questioning. As you have to figure out what happens next. I would recommend watching this movie.
