TAZARA documentary reaffirms China-Africa relations

"I remember when I was a little boy, there was a railway passing through my hometown. The whistle of the train was the rhythm of my childhood… TAZARA realized my dream. Thank you, railway of freedom…".

These lyrics touch the inner hearts of many people in Tanzania, Zambia and China.

The lyrics come from main musical theme for Tazara: A Journey Without An End, a documentary series produced by four institutions including the Chinese Embassy in Tanzania and the Institute of African Studies at Zhejiang Normal University.

The series is composed of three episodes in total: A Railway of Friendship, The Life Line and Love for TAZARA. Center for African Film and TV Studies has produced many versions of the series including a Chinese extended version and an English version. The Chinese version debuted on the China Global Television Network (CGTN) on September 1 and will be available on Chinese streaming platform iQiyi on November 15.
