Mugabe and the White African

I rented this film on Lovefilm. It was made in 2009 and is a documentary charting the legal case taken by two White Zimbabwean farmers to challenge Mugabe's attempts to seize their farm. They are Mike Campbell and his son-in-law Ben Freeth, and they went to the SADC tribunal, which is essentially an international court, presided over by judges from countries in Southern Africa, and which was sitting in Windhoek, Namibia. In addition to court scenes, there is plenty of footage back on the farm. Many neighbours' farms have been taken over under Mugabe's land redistribution policy, and Mike, Ben and their families struggle to maintain security on their property. All in all a very interesting but deeply shocking portrait of what was once a beautiful country to visit. Am off to read up more on what is going on in Zimbabwe now.
