Africa 2002: Zimbabwe Village
Visitors are surprised to find Zimbabwe's rural people living in dirt-floor huts whose walls are plastered with cow dung. They're much more interested in shopping for handmade crafts. This video is somewhat instructive, somewhat insulting. Looking back at it, I don't especially care for my attempts at humor.
Once again, considering that the original audience viewed this on DVD as part of a remembrance of their travels, it was appropriate at the time. Now I would likely consider a re-edit that would focus on people and culture.
Lessons Learned:
Things change, thoughts change, awareness changes. Something considered "pretty good" ten years ago might become a candidate for re-edit.
