Zimbabwe Passion (1978x9)

Air date: Mar 26, 1978

Each year at Easter a most unusual Passion Play is staged in Bulawayo in the heart of Rhodesia. Based on the traditional African music of the Shona people, it carries a special political as well as a religious meaning for those taking part, who see the story of the death and resurrection of Jesus as the story of their own oppression and liberation.
