ZimRights produces national healing documentary
Zimbabwe
Human Rights Association (ZimRights)
June 17, 2010
In a bid to
contribute to the national healing process, Zimbabwe Human Rights
Association (ZimRights) has created a documentary-titled "Article
VII Voices for healing."
The documentary
takes cognisance of the need for the promotion of equality, national
healing, cohesion and unity as stated in Article VII of the Global
Political Agreement (GPA).
Premised on the need
for a healing process to occur in Zimbabwe, the documentary gives
people in grassroots communities a chance to speak out on the direction
the national healing process should take. People speak out on who
should lead the process and what should be done to bring about true
healing in the country.
The documentary
is the culmination of public meetings held by ZimRights in over
twenty areas in the country. A theatre production entitled "Heal
the wounds" by Rooftop
promotions was used to initiate debate in the communities on
what they would like to get out of the healing process. It emerged
that most communities would like the process to be decentralised
so that they can dictate the pace of healing and reconciliation
for themselves. People have indicated to the notion that the national
healing organ must not prescribe solutions, but should carry out
consultations on how communities want the process to be done.
Production of
the documentary would not have been possible without the support
of the Media
Project of Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe
Peace Project and Solidarity
Peace Trust which availed some of its footage to ZimRights.
The organisation extends its sincere gratitude to SPT and all the
other organisations who participated and made this documentary possible.
