In their attempts to discredit @DavidHundeyin , the Ford Foundation activist circle may actually be strengthening the credibility of both David and the @Spearhead_Af team. I say this for several logical reasons.
First, they have been eager to label What Happened on October 29 as pro-government propaganda after seeing only a two-minute trailer. How can they confidently condemn an entire documentary without watching it in full? Their rush to dismiss it raises questions about whether they fear the perspectives it may present.
Second, many of these same activists openly supported documentaries by CNNNN and BCCC, both of which largely criticized the Tanzanian government. At the time, they defended those productions as important journalistic work. Why, then, are they suddenly opposed to another documentary on the same subject simply because it appears to challenge their preferred narrative?
What makes this contradiction even more striking is that the CNN and BBC documentaries were promoted heavily despite the fact that no representatives from those media organizations reportedly came to Tanzania to engage directly with people on the ground. In contrast, Spearhead actually sent a team to speak with Tanzanians who witnessed the events of that fateful day firsthand. One would expect such direct engagement to be welcomed rather than attacked.
The campaign against David has also relied on questionable tactics. At one point, activists circulated a photo supposedly showing David with President Samia. The image was later exposed as fabricated and heavily photoshopped. If the evidence against David were truly strong, why resort to using fake material to push the narrative?
David himself is both a journalist and an activist based in Ghana, much like Maria was a Tanzanian journalist and activist based in Kenya before relocating to Canada. On the surface, one might expect solidarity between individuals who occupy similar spaces. Yet Maria has emerged as one of David’s fiercest critics. The reason may lie in what the short trailer appears to suggest: that activists such as Maria and her associates may have played a role in escalating tensions and encouraging unrest before and after October 29.
Ultimately, the events of the past few days reveal an important reality: activists, like all human beings, are not free from bias, personal interests, or political agendas. Their interpretation of the truth should not automatically become the universal standard by which all other perspectives are judged.

Activists are a very funny bunch. In fact I would go as far as to say they sometimes act borderline clownish.
When @CNN made a documentary on post election riots in Tanzania, the activists applauded.
When @BBCWorld made a documentary on post election riots in Tanzania, the activists applauded.
Now that an African outlet such as @Spearhead_Af has made a documentary on the same matter, activists are up in arms claiming that the documentary is paid for by the Tanzanian government.
So my question to activists such as Maria Sarungi and her gang is this, if this documentary is paid for by the Tanzania government for its benefit, who paid for the CNN and BBC documentaries and to whose benefit?
Mind you this documentary has not even come out yet. But activists are up in arms because a snippet of the documentary talks about how they coordinated an online campaign to motivate young Tanzanians to riot to stop a constitutionally mandated election.
To this end I say thank you @DavidHundeyin and thank you Spearhead. It is time that an African story be told by an African news agency and I am looking forward to the premier in Dar Es Salaam.
And to the activists and everyone who seems to be upset, I say this, practice what you preach. You were happy with the CNN, BBC and other western media outlets narrative now it is time we hear a balanced perspective.
What Happened On October 29 is about to be the biggest documentary released this year 🙌🏾.

Completely normal and not-at-all-suspicious reaction to a 2 minute trailer of a documentary that isn't even out yet.
These guys are totally not panicking and trying to keep something hidden. Something that they know this documentary is going to smash wide open.
