About

PADARE makes long documentaries about history, starting with Zimbabwe and Southern Africa.

In Shona, padare is the place where people gather to hear a matter out. The films try to do the same: put the record in front of you and let both sides speak.

  1. Sources

    Every fact the narrator states is tied to a source we have read, listed on the film's page.

  2. Numbers

    Every number says who counted it, and when.

  3. Both sides

    Each side's account is recorded. Neither is taken on trust.

  4. Mistakes

    Corrections go on the film's page, with the date.
