I went to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.voanews.com\/english\/portal.cfm\" title=\"Voice of America website\">Voice of America website<\/a> and tried to find the video but struggled and was about to give up when I finally found it.  Even then I couldn&#8217;t view the films online but had to download each one and then watch it.  Then I had an idea, I&#8217;d downloaded them so why not then upload them to youtube where they could be streamed!  Here are the flims.  I&#8217;ve not been to Victoria Falls for about 20 months but last time I was there there were fewer tourists than shown in the film.  We took an evening cruise on the Zambesi as shown in the film, could even have been on the same boat, and the two of us were the only passengers!  For a couple of hours we had a private cruise watching hippos, crocs, snake birds etc until the sun set. <\/p>\n<p><b>Zimbabwe Overview<\/b><br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/OzAequD8XaU&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/OzAequD8XaU&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><b>Activists in Zimbabwe Suffer Arrests, Beatings<\/b><br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/-bat_oOKoQk&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/-bat_oOKoQk&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><b>Zimbabwe Tourists Flock to Victoria Falls, Shun Other Sites<\/b><br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/VV6WwGixzeg&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/VV6WwGixzeg&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><b>Cemeteries in Zimbabwe Reflect Gravity of Crisis<\/b><br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/VseXO0Um8_w&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/VseXO0Um8_w&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><b>Zimbabwe Food Shortages Erupt in Disturbances<\/b><br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/nuFAWuJw4gM&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/nuFAWuJw4gM&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was reading David Colthart&#8217;s blog (he&#8217;s an opposition MP in Zimbabwe) and came across a reference to undercover filming in Zimbabwe by Voice of America.
