Several thousand Spanish fishermen pelted the Canadian Embassy in Madrid with raw eggs and dead mackerel to protest what they said was Canada's harassment of Spanish trawlers in the North Atlantic. In the latest turn in the month-long conflict overfishing and conservationin Canadian waters, Canadian patrol boats allegedly tried to snip the nets off two Spanish trawlers, and by some accounts actually boarded the vessels.

By first flinging bits of raw, unfiltered indictments of urban life at its audience, "Warriors" depresses the spirit in order to redeem it with a glimmer of hope in the end. While violence serves a dual purpose, to caress the fetish as well as to sicken the heart, it is the latter purpose Tamahori hopes will resonate...
