Zimbabwe is at a crossroads. The new leader of the opposition party, MDC, Nelson Chamisa, is challenging the old guard, ZANU-PF, represented by the acting president, Emmerson Mnangagwa. The 2018 Zimbabwean general election serves as the ultimate test for both the ruling party and for the opposition. How will they interpret democracy in a post-Mugabe era – in discourse and in practice?

"This film is a deep testament to the struggle for decolonization by both superpowers and local mercenary governments. It also speaks to a people-to-people solidarity of the North and the South, in the same way Mandela’s ANC partnered with many in the North to end apartheid. This happened because their story was told. Independent filmmakers are some of the few people who actually cared enough to tell our story, the real story. What’s become important to us is that they earn their credibility and our trust."
-Nelson Chamisa
