This documentary follows the life cycle of giant freshwater prawns; the journey from hatchery, through the inland water reservoirs of Sri Lanka, to the export markets of Southeast Asia. The film was released in YouTube and featured in Facebook (teaser), showing the impact and benefits for the fishing community, while providing visibility to this aquaculture project funded by AusAid and implemented by MDF and its partners.
