ERROL’S RECORD

POLISH TITLE: REKORD ERROLA

Errol Muzawazi from Zimbabwe is trying to break the Guinness record, giving the longest lecture in the history
of mankind. His goal is to speak for 125 hours about democracy. The director confesses, ‘When I met a 24-year-old guy from Zimbabwe, accidentally, in the Kazimierz district of Krakow, I faced a certain enigma. To try to answer the question who he is, the man who, in the very centre of Robert Mugabe’s regime, has decided
to talk for 125 hours about democracy, I covered 8 thousand kilometres to meet him.’
