In stark contrast to the many recent African documentaries about cultural implosions and displacements resulting from war, poverty and disease, “From Zimbabwe to Santa Fe” is a celebratory story about three uniquely appealing Zimbabwean women and their rural communities where no one considers themselves victims of one of the world’s harshest dictatorships. Rather, these women push beyond their obvious limitations, ever determined to improve their quality of life.

What happens when Matron, Gogo and Sindiso attempt to connect with the global marketplace in search of economic opportunity? What are the long-term personal and communal impacts of venturing onto an international stage? “From Zimbabwe to Santa Fe,” a one-hour character-driven documentary, follows the journey of traditional basketmakers represented by three generations from two distinctly different Zimbabwean villages over an eighteen-month period.
