President
When Robert Mugabe was ousted by his own party, Zimbabwe’s new leaders promised a democratic presidential election – the first since the start of Mugabe’s rule almost 40 years earlier. Against a backdrop of economic crisis, food shortages and political violence, the stakes could not be higher. \n\nWorking to defeat the ruling party, which has controlled Zimbabwe since independence, is the young and charismatic Nelson Chamisa, who has been compared to a young Nelson Mandela. The campaign will set the course for the future of the country. After decades of corrupt elites using any means necessary to retain power, can a free, fair and transparent election truly be possible? \n\nWith this sequel to her widely acclaimed 2014 documentary Democrats, which followed the political battle to establish Zimbabwe’s first democratic constitution, Camilla Nielsson brings viewers into the heart of an epic struggle for power.
