When US network news legend Candida Coulter cascades into Karibu, flanked by her long-suffering cameraman and producer, the American invasion of the conflict-torn African country begins.
A turf war for talking heads breaks out between Coulter and her arch-rival, BBC correspondent David Bradburn. However, with bribery, exploding pineapples and power-outages, it is anyone's guess which national news reporter will get to file their story first.
