In this episode, I talk frankly about my recent experiences covering the election in Zimbabwe. On 1 August 2018, I found myself alone, in the thick of a dangerous riot. There was gunfire and I found a man badly wounded. I tried to help but couldn't.
This is the story of that incident, how I feel about it and what I wish I could have done better.
I'm hoping that me talking frankly will help you if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.
To view some of my video from that day, you can see a censored version here.
