This is an adventure film along the longest and most dangerous river in southern Africa. It’s also about a mission to save lives. The Zambezi is known as the river of life. But it brings huge dangers as well. The river and its banks provide the perfect breeding ground for millions and millions of mosquitoes – and they carry one of the deadliest diseases on the continent. Few villages on the Zambezi are accessible by road, and yet even where it is easily navigable the river remains bereft of transport. One of the most famous rivers in the world is characterised by isolation and underdevelopment. In March this year, an expedition arrived at the source of the Zambezi to draw attention to the continuing menace of malaria. The aim was to travel the entire length of the river, to the Indian Ocean.

In India, the most secluded section of the palace was the zenana, or women's quarters. Here, until recently, palace women lived behind protective walls and brass doors firmly shut at night. This film is an account of women's life in the Dhrangadra, in northern India, the seat of power of the Jhala Rajputs from the 11th century A.D. until 1947. The film unfolds through songs, dances, and stories of several palace women, including the Maharani (wife of the Maharaja), who is the mother of one of the filmmakers. She and others reflect upon traditional women's roles, the strictness of their former seclusion, and the ideals of women's purity and inner strength.

This documentary provides a personal insight into the plight of Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) under the brutal regime of Mugabe. The filmmaker, Michael Raeburn, was a white Rhodesian who has spent his life chronicling events there. In 1969, he supported African nationalists in their hopes of ending colonial rule under the racist Ian Smith. Raeburn was expelled from his country and wrote a book applauding Mugabe?s socialist vision of the future. In this film, Raeburn details how the liberation movement he once admired has been transformed into a reign of terror. To insure his re-election, Mugabe has tortured and murdered the opposition and triggered agricultural chaos and economic ruin. The land and homes of white farmers have been seized by government supporters and their black farmworkers have been killed. Millions starve as a result of the chaotic land distribution. Zimbabwe had been a model of a post colonial nation and Mugabe had pledged to ensure a place for everybody in this country. Today the optimism of liberation has turned to despair, with rage, riots, killing and starvation rampant throughout the land. And Michael Raeburn has been forced into exile a second time, because of the color of his skin. College Adult
