Cricket
(20.25 min. Jesper Nordahl, 2003)
The video Cricket is based on an interview with Zimbabwean cricketer Henry Olonga on the sport of cricket. Henry Olonga went into exile after demonstrating against the Zimbabwe regime¹s human rights violations, during the Cricket World Cup 2003, hosted in South Africa and Zimbabwe. The video is recorded in Maidstone, England, in August 2003. The video is part of a series of investigations concerning cricket, as an indirect expression of political action in a global arena.
