President
When it comes to elections in Zimbabwe, the stakes are perilously high: inequality, corruption, and political violence have long marred the process. As the follow-up to her widely acclaimed Democrats, Camilla Nielsson sweeps you into the heart of the fight for democracy, where charismatic young lawyer Nelson Chamisa leads the charge for change on the heels of Mugabe’s removal from power. Free of narration and talking heads, the camera is an energizing vector that will lead you through on-the-ground footage of rallies, protests, celebrations and devastations. While President explores the fragile state of Zimbabwe’s democracy, it also upholds a yearning for change that cannot be denied.
