I'm assuming the connection is film locations and therefore the bit in bold is an Apocalypse Now reference, which google tells me was filmed in Baler in the Phillipines. A bit of driving around on Streetview brings me to here: Okay, less than few minutes once you worked out the significance. Well done!

The American Civil War disrupted the world supply of cotton. Uzbekistan became a replacement for it. The diversion of water for the cotton industry reduced the Aral Sea by 90%. These fishing boats in Moynaq are now more than 100 miles from the sea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
