Louise, thank you for finding this report and posting it. Seeing on film the suffering of the people of Zimbabwe was even harder than reading the stories we've posted here. Despite the fact that news outlets such as the BBC have been banned from Zimbabwe, it was amazing to watch this video and realize that everything that was reported I have learned about already from our writers and from the Byline Portal. Just publishing stories from inside Zimbabwe isn't nearly enough, though. We must do more. I hope all of our readers will watch this report. I pray our amazing writers from Zimbabwe remain safe and protected from Mugabe in this terrible and dangerous time.

This footage is incredible and I applaude the BBC for taking a risk and getting this film to the public.

It also reinforces for me just how courageous our contributors in Zimbabwe really are for sharing their stories with us.

To Constance Manika and Lelety Mabasa,
Thank you for bringing the plight of your country to our readers. You have my uttmost respect.

Thank you Katherine and Sarah.God will keep us safe-help us in the prayers.

That video is the true Zimbabwe story-we just survive by the grace of God.

In our culture, they say everything comes to an end and we do strongly believe the end is not too far away.
