A complex, compelling film that interweaves the story of Zimbabwe’s first 30 years with the personal journey of Robert Mugabe. From much-admired, bright young Turk of the liberation struggle, through the early hopeful years of independence, to his current pariah status Mugabe emerges as a canny, devious leader determined to hold onto power come what may. Spiced with a nice mix of Zimbabwean music, this haunting biography skilfully interweaves pertinent newsreel footage with first-hand accounts of Mugabe’s early life to chart the Shakespearean rise and fall of a man who has tragically destroyed so much of what he fought for and built.
