Grasshopper Republic
Daniel McCabe / United States / 2023 / 94 min
Millions of grasshoppers swarm deep in the forests of Uganda to mate. A group of young men waits at the edges of fields and forests to catch the insects, as the elusive grasshoppers are considered a special delicacy. To achieve their goal, the men carry massive generators and chemically treated light bulbs to the forest’s edge, battling exhaustion and injury. With breathtaking imagery, this film offers a new perspective on the relationship between humans and animals.
