The evidence of voting fraud during Zimbabwe’s 2018 election piles up in Camilla Nielsson’s documentary.
The 2018 presidential elections in Zimbabwe, fought between former vice president Emmerson “the crocodile” Mnangagwa and the bright young opposition candidate Nelson Chamisa, were a dismal affair rife with election fraud, if you follow the persuasive arguments mounted by documaker Camilla Nielsson in

Chamisa, a 40-year-old lawyer running on an anti-corruption, pro-employment platform, is obviously the people’s candidate, but can his team buck the dirty tricks and ballot-stuffing of his adversary? It’s a through-the-looking-glass moment in history that can’t help but echo the recent election furor in you-know-what-country.
