More unbelievable tales from behind the camera lens, as Lucinda and her ‘rainbow crew’ travel across South Africa. They meet Mandela, endure a terrifying helicopter ride and empathize with the forlorn Bushmen. There are riots, an abandoned patient, a ram with an identity crisis and a house that disappears. Their stories are both hilarious and heartbreaking, revealing the truth about what goes on behind the scenes in the media. This book proves that propaganda is alive and well on television screens across the world.

By Liz Wiffen I Beta read More Truth, Lies and Propaganda and found it to be an enlightening book, delving into the realms of African culture and the mine field of filming documentaries in South Africa. The book visits humour, sorrow, joy and a plethora of other emotions all intertwined with the writers own memoires.Lucinda (I really felt I was able to be on first name terms with the author, as the writing was so engaging) paints a picture of South Africa that many would shy away from, or totally reject. She introduces us to her world of script writing, presenting and production. On one of her first projects a house disappeared overnight! You will have to read the book to solve that mystery. On her travels Lucinda visits morgues, hospitals and a whole host of venues that provide a sometimes amusing, sometimes though provoking, but always fascinating arena.The façade of some towns are revealed: In Durban hanging flower baskets adorned the streets only to be taken down immediately after the filming stopped, to be returned to the safekeeping of the council nurseries. Had the council not done this the baskets would have disappeared into the night as many before had done.The author does not veer away from controversial subjects, approaching them methodically and objectively. She sees African traditions and superstitions; encountering ancient beliefs juxtaposed with contemporary beliefs, leading to some controversial opinions. All in all a mind opening and thought provoking book which tells of the struggles of the ordinary people of South Africa (both black and white), along with the author’s struggle to make a life for herself and her daughter in an ever changing country and male dominated industry.

By All Things D Finding herself in the Monty Python parrot sketch in front of a Job Centre clerk in London Lucinda desperately misses South Africa and its sense of danger so we are transported back to this rich land of many mysteries.This is an excellent memoir of Lucinda’s incredible career in filming documentaries and TV reporting in South Africa. She interviews some of the world’s top leaders as well as local officials.Lucinda describes her Monday morning feeling ‘I jumped out of bed and said YES it’s Monday!’ But make no mistake; this is not a life of glamour! From filming rural schools with bullet holed doors to smelly abattoirs and urine diversion toilets to the recycling of graves in Durban to the horrors of AIDS and the lack of education - Lucinda covers it all. This is a great eye opener. If you never get the chance to visit South Africa at least read this memoir!This really is a fascinating read and you will learn so much about South Africa from the wildlife (Honey Badgers and so on) to the African mind set on so many levels, democracy ‘African style,’ (the tremendous influence for example of the chief) to how the people live and how the economy of Durban operates. Through her work Lucinda tells us about traditional medicine.. from shriveled monkey brains to desiccated lion’s paw. She tries to convince communities to adopt cremation and we learn about the reycling of graves.The greatest accolade of her career for me was meeting Nelson Mandela. ‘I felt afraid of him. He was one man I would not want to cross.’

This book starts with Lucinda back in England with her husband and daughter and she is trying to find work and sign on for benefits. Having lived in SA for so long England has moved on without her and she doesn't quite fit in. After talking with her daughter they move back to SA without hubby. Life isn't easy at first but as she gets work again and starts her own production company she is HAPPY. This book lets us see what it takes to produce documentaries, etc. The hours are insane and the fact that she has to write the documentary and film what she thinks the client will like is amazing. Lucinda takes you thru her life back in SA. I found the most interesting parts for me were seeing thru her eyes the transformation of SA. The people are so proud of what they have and made an effort to have it look and be the best. The schools was a very interesting part and many parts were eye opening. How they treat people they have displaced, what they do with juvenile delinquents, how do you get a driver's license (as in the USA--where did you get your license--Kmart), etc. I am sure anyone will enjoy this book and don't forget to read book 1 of Truth Lies and Propaganda.
