So, there we were, fresh off a media tour, feeling all sorts of accomplished.
Amos Batisayi , our trusty guide, thought it would be a quick stop. We decided to swing by one of @mdtc_zw 's projects, just to check on progress, you know, the usual.
Little did we know we were about to record, by sheer luck and total amateurism, one of the most genuine stories of hunger we've ever heard.
The villagers spoke of a hunger code called Zero Zero One. Now, if you’re wondering, that’s not some secret formula for survival. Out of nowhere, the villagers started talking.
They weren’t asking for help; they were just telling it as it is. One of the elders explained their hunger "code"—Zero Zero One.
No, it’s not a spy thriller. It’s the cruel reality where they manage just one meal a day, usually late in the afternoon.
We couldn’t believe it. Even the children, yes the kids, are forced to survive on that single meal.
The famine has hit hard, but it’s not just the empty plates causing chaos. With hunger, comes frustration. And with frustration, comes violence. Gender-based violence (GBV) is on the rise, as families grapple with the unbearable stress of survival.
There was no polished script, no fancy equipment, just me, trying to hold it together while capturing a story we’ll never forget.
So yeah, we turned this raw footage into an amateurish documentary—don’t expect Hollywood-level glitz, but we promise you, it’s real.
Real stories, real pain, real resilience.

New Documentary Alert!
We're thrilled to announce the release of "Lived Realities of Communities in Accessing the Justice System", a powerful documentary produced by The Lensecape Media , on behalf of the Alliance of Community Based Organisations - ACBOs with support from Partnerships for Justice.
This documentary delves deep into the challenges Zimbabweans face in accessing justice, especially after electoral violence.
Through the lens of real-life stories, like that of Siphiwe Nkiwane, the film explores how systemic barriers and political interference continue to hinder the fight for electoral justice.
Stay tuned for an eye-opening exploration of these lived realities. #Documentary #ElectoralJustice #Zimbabwe #HumanRights #JudicialReform

In Mutasa District, Manicaland Province, a female village head believes that women should be submissive to their husbands and obey their every command as this is the only way to reduce gender-based violence and maintain peace in the family.
