Center for African Studies invites you to a film screening of
NO NEWS FROM HARARE

followed by a Conversation with Filmmaker Wendy Dent.
With 15 years of experience and her work filmed and screened across 5 continents, filmmaker Wendy Dent has built up a diverse range of skills, credits for 30 films, and has four feature screenplays, three books and two more feature docs already on slate. No News From Harare delivers a cutting edge account of the current political climate in Zimbabwe, as reported solely from those who have the courage to speak out. Spiced with sharp political comedy which satirises the unspeakable, and featuring exclusive interviews filmed undercover with NCA leader Dr Lovemore Madhuku, rare footage of the recent land evictions and real accounts by the lawyers representing its victims, No News From Harare presents a chilling portrayal of Zimbabwe that Mugabe would prefer remains unseen. On the filming of No News From Harare; “The tension in the air was palpable. A chill ran down my spine while I was filming a rare opposition party protest outside parliament and interviewing a local who was telling me that six of his friends have already disappeared... then the Secret Service drove by”.
