More about the Short Film Trailer

Zimbabwe’s 2018 election marked the first post-Mugabe era election. This short film set to popular campaign songs illustrates the organizational power and mobilization efforts of the main presidential contenders across Masvingo Province, including rallies featuring presidential contender Nelson Chamisa. Underlying the mobilization efforts and a tense atmosphere are friendships, music, entertainment, and humor, which is often more visible than underlying policy differences between the candidates.
