Please note that this is NOT the master tape of the final documentary. The master tape is one of the tapes that got stolen after Baraniecki's death

Second Tape is Online - Nioneshe Njia

"Nioneshe Njia" translates from Kiswahili as "show me the way". In the near future I will post a video in the English language.

I don't fully understand how they are linked but this tape seems to connect to the "Zanzibar Elections". "Nioneshe Njia" was recorded just a couple of days before "Zanzibar Elections".

It appears that both tapes contain material that was later intended to be edited into a final documentation with narration. I don't know if this ever happened.

First Tape is Online - Zanzibar Elections

The first tape was digitalised an uploaded to Youtube. The source came from a simple vhs file. Can someone help find the original tape on these pages in the Betacam SP-L, Betacam SP-S or Sony Hi8 format?

Overview of Films

This is an overview of Wolfgang Baraniecki's tapes currently residing with the Baraniecki family (click on the image for a closer view). The tapes exist in four general formats: Betacam SP-L, Betacam SP-S, Sony Hi8 and VHS.

Unfortunately, the rest of the tapes were hijacked in Tanzania shortly after Baraniecki's death.

!!! Please help by contributing comments if you understand Kiswahili or know any details about these documentaries right under the individual tapes !!!
