You heard that Tanzania had a flawed election last year, followed by post-election violence from disgruntled young Tanzanians protesting against Africa's first female dictator. You heard that thousands of people were massacred and dumped in mass graves. You heard that this was "Democracy" versus "Dictatorship." But what if you found out that everything you have heard about what happened from October 29 to the first week of November in Tanzania was completely fabricated? What if everything you "know" about Tanzania's 2025 election is the result of a brutal information campaign waged by an adversary more powerful than any African government? The Spearhead has spent 7 months working onsite across Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya to produce our first feature-length documentary titled "What Happened On October 29?" The documentary will premiere in Accra at 5PM on Tuesday May 26 at the WAGMC Auditorium, University of Ghana. Subsequently, it will also premiere in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi before going up for general viewership on YouTube on May 31.
