Fishing Without Nets

...sounds so innocent doesn't it? You're thinking, "Those resourceful Somalis, what do they use?poles...spears...a hook on a string perhaps?" No, speedboats and rocket launchers. See, this is a different type of "fishing", the type that might bring a response from Seal Team 6 if you go after a particularly large haul. This documentary about Somali pirates looks crazy...Vice has an account from the director about the surreal experience of receiving an award at Sundance shortly after being "robbed, scammed, hassled and put in jail" in East Africa while trying to film the project. All in a days work for some, I suppose.
