Thank you for the effort you put...in telling the true story of the inhuman oppression of the masses of Zimbabwe by a system that is bent on staying in power at all costs. Since 1980 Zimbabwe has suffered under the brutal misgovernance and corrupt rule of zanupf. they have and still continue to plunder the nations resources, even donor aid is not being spared!
Zimbabwes systems of government are captured by the ruling party, the cartel is running all corners of the state and elections will yield nothing but another 5 years of misrule.
Nelson Chamisa won the 2018 election, but there is no system to ensure the losers conced defeat and allow for a swift transfer of power. The nation has seriously plunged into becoming a securocratic state and the democratic space has been shut down. The constitution has been thrown out the bin and they have instituted a grand state capture!
All the whilst institutions like the UN, AU, even SADC stand by watch and even rush to congratulate an illegitimate 'president'.
Zimbabwe shall be free!!
Plot summary
When Robert Mugabe was removed from power, Zimbabwe military leaders promised they would not seize control for themselves but would ensure democracy in a national election. Against a backdrop of economic crisis, food shortages, and political violence, the stakes could not be higher.Working to defeat the ruling party, which has controlled Zimbabwe since independence, is the young and charismatic Nelson Chamisa, who draws comparisons to a young Nelson Mandela in expressing the country's utmost desire to be "led" and not "ruled". After decades of a corrupt group clinging to power using any tool available-legal or not-can a free, fair, and transparent election be truly possible? As the follow-up to her widely acclaimed Democrats, Camilla Nielsson brings viewers into the heart of the struggle for power with stunningly close access and unhesitating courage, in a nation closely monitored by the entire world. President is a riveting and epic reminder that, while individuals and their specific ideals may differ, the fight for democracy is never-ending and of profound significance everywhere.

Democracy's fragility laid bare - finally!
Two of the most compelling hours of documentary footage covering the African political landscape I've ever watched.
This documentary tells the unfortunate story of events leading up to the announcement of the 2018 General Election results in Zimbabwe. It tests the nerve of those who believe in Justice, Equality, Human Rights, Citizen Agency & Democracy.
Camilla Nielsson captured the mood perfectly, as well as the emotion and I urge all to watch this and search within themselves for the answer to the question: What have I done for Democracy today? Am I compelled to do more?
