Inside a Failed State - Zimbabwe
October 2007
Zimbabwe, once one of the most prosperous nations in Africa, now has the lowest life expectancy and highest inflation rate in the world. Life has become an everyday struggle for survival.
The supermarkets in Bulawayo are all empty. According to the shopkeeper, the last time they had bread was "a month ago". Filming secretly undercover, journalist Ginny Stein captures the desperation everywhere. "There is no water. Nothing, just nothing", laments 'Tony'. "Children are hungry, everyone is hungry. Our government is a monster". Even if there were things in the shops, most people couldn't afford them. A teacher's monthly salary now buys the equivalent of one MacDonald's family meal. Malnutrition is taking its toll on people's health. "Up to 75% of the people coming in have diarrhea and vomiting", states Dr Thandazani. The fear is that these problems will only get worse. In July, the government forced businesses to half their prices. Now it's proposing to nationalize 51% of all white-owned businesses. "The economy must be in the hands of Zimbabweans", states Ambassador Khaya Moyo. But unsurprisingly, manufacturers and retailers feel they're being made new enemies of the state.

Inside Zimbabwe
September 2005
In a bid to destroy the powerbase of his opponents, Robert Mugabe is bulldozing thousands of slums. Secret footage shows the consequences of this policy.
A young boy flees the approaching bulldozer. Fire rages all around as house after house is reduced to rubble. These are the images President Mugabe doesn't want to you see. Millions have lost their homes in part of a bizarre national clean up campaign centred on demolishing Zimbabwe's slums. "Yes there is discomfort now, but discomfort in order to get comfort later," states Mugabe. But opponents are unconvinced. They believe the real aim of 'Operation Restore Order' is to destabilise opposition strongholds. "They are trying to move the electorate in the cities into rural areas where it is easy to manipulate or even abuse them," laments Jay Jay Sibanda. He was forced into exile after being arrested and tortured. Now, he's returning to Zimbabwe to secretly film what's happening in his homeland. Many families haven't received food supplies for weeks, supermarkets have nothing in stock and the queue for petrol lasts several days. Ordinary Zimbabweans are faced with a stark choice: exile if they leave or starvation and destitution if they remain.
