"The series began in South Africa where a huge rise in illegal

of Johannesburg's most dangerous quarters to investigate.."

PART TWO
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3SFT1uANP0
PART THREE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wFTB4PY9U0

"..As Zimbabwe spirals ever deeper into repression and starvation,
an Unreported World team just back from three weeks travelling
undercover through the country reveals startling claims that the
Mugabe Government is using the supply of AIDS drugs and food
aid to gerrymander upcoming elections.

Reporter Evan Williams and Director Siobhan Sinnerton travel as
tourists to avoid the scrutiny of Mugabe's pervasive intelligence
service..Williams and Sinnerton arrive just as the government
intelligence service launches a new campaign of repression,
abducting and beating scores of opposition members across
the country."

Thanx for the links, John Pilger series of documentaries were very interesting.
I've watched a couple this evening about 3hrs of them and saved them to disc.
 
Just checked it, and yeah, part 2 looks to be not happening.. worst case scenario, either miss the middle bit and go onto part 3 - or else follow the hints towards the full version..

I will see if I can upload the files to a local FTP server.
 
Perhaps grabbing the file via Firefox video-grabbing addon, in .flv format,
might make for a smaller size..

There's a free online converter of .flv files -> .avi
at http://vixy.net/

Also, for forumites outside SA - you can send fairly big files anonymously to folks, via http://www.yousendit.com/

not for the first time, I wish Telkom was dead.
I have perm unlimited net, and would be happy to be gathering SA & Africa-related things to send to a local SA FTP for folks to grab.
