⁣Kidnapping is a growing crisis in Nigeria, with ₦2.2 trillion paid in ransoms between May 2023 and April 2024. The 2025 abduction of retired General Tsiga, whose ₦400 million ransom was raised by over 300 contributors, highlights widespread insecurity.
On April 2, 2025, the U.S. imposed tariffs of 10% to 50% on imports, threatening Nigeria's $5.7 billion export revenue, predominantly oil.

⁣Namibia has the third highest levels of income inequality in the world. 6% of the population own 70% of the land and here, the wounds of German Colonisation run deep. Between 1904 -1908, the Germans established concentration camps where the indigenous Herero and Nama people were interned. Up to 80% of them died in what Germany later recognised as the first genocide of the 20th Century. While the descendants of these victims, like Karvita, live in illegal settlements in constant fear of eviction, the descendants of these colonists continue to own most of the land and have no problem justifying their inheritance.

Most of Namibia’s vast natural resources are owned or controlled by foreigners. The diamond industry is dominated by DeBeers and the ruling Swapo party, widely seen as corrupt, is propped up by its historic ally: China. The construction and uranium industries are controlled by the Chinese and documents leaked in 2021 revealed that North Korea was illegally subcontracted to build the country’s State House.

Most of the country is sparsely populated, enabling nature to flourish. It’s home to one to one of the greatest wildlife populations in the world, including the only free-roaming black rhinos. But these animals are constantly threatened by the Chinese mafia while global warming is increasing desertification, threatening indigenous communities.

This documentary was produced by Cat & Cie and directed by Esther Goldmann. It was first released in 2022.
