Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe

Since Robert Mugabe came to power in Zimbabwe's first free elections in 1980 he has violently silenced all opposition to his regime and in 2007 the country now teeters on collapse. Two documentaries are included here 'Zimbabwe Countdown' explores the dictator's shattered promises from the perspective of a former supporter. And in 'Zimbabwe: Shadows And Lies' two journalists travel the country disguised as tourists to expose a population struggling with hunger and poverty. Two unmissable and very personal accounts of the decline of a country once considered the shining beacon of democracy and independence in Africa.
