For @ElecInParaDoc, we had to record some of our activities during the upcoming 2022 Fiji General Elections. This is the longer, unedited video of me on Elections day, with an edited shorter version appearing in the feature documentary.

With Elections later this year (or early next year?), throwback to 2022 to the days leading up to the Fiji General Elections. @dave_lavaki and @TumeliTuqota picked up their cameras and captured the sights and sounds of a country on the cusp of change. What were you up to in 2022?
