greg r @itsgregsworld Apr 24, 2016 The near birth of a nation. Stunning inside look at the drafting of the constitution of Zimbabwe See more Nov 17, 2015 Given the circumstance how this was ever allowed to be filmed, let alone released I will never know. See more Oct 18, 2015 Interesting and compelling documentary that got more exciting in the latter half but could have been improved if there were some narration to explain some of the events better, more background information of the participants of the documentary and the history of the country to help in order to give more context to the situations.
