Why did Robert Gabriel Mugabe, who fought to free his country through a savage civil war, then rebuilt and reunified it, end up by destroying much of
what he had built ? This feature length documentary seeks the answers
through gripping story telling by Zimbabwean fellow travellers, colleagues and
school mates, illuminated by powerful archive that drives the narrative of this
crucial period of Southern African history. The best biopic of Mugabe so far
and a fine study of the effects on man of power and politics.
