Caviar with the Rat Brothers

Posted on June 4, 2010
Legendary fisherman Pa Drnda (aka the "King of Caviar") can only watch in horror as his two sons drive the family business into the water. The Caviar Connection documents the epic pursuit of Ivan and Dragon (aka "The Rat Brothers") as they troll along the Danube River in search for the one that got away. The elusive fish: a fat sturgeon whose eggs are worth big money or at least enough to abandon their small Serbian village for greener pastures. The Caviar Connection airs Sunday, June 6 on Global Voices on PBS World. Check here for local listings. You can also watch online at PBS.org.
