| Mugabe’s Zimbabwe – Documentary |
| |
| Once upon a time in Africa, there was a humble
teacher. He seemed to have dedicated his life for a
cause larger than his own – that of liberation,
freedom and Independence from an oppressive
regime which denied his people their basic rights,
freedom and dignity. The man was Robert Gabriel
Mugabe. He fought for Zimbabwe’s Independence
from an oppressive white minority rule and
garnered a black majority rule. Mugabe became the
president of free Zimbabwe, a beacon of hope for
democracy and peace in the country.
But, thirty years after independence, Mugabe who
was once the darling of the world is now considered
a despot. A man who was once called a ‘Liberator’ is
now called a ‘Dictator’. A man who is the ‘President’
of a country is called a ‘Tyrant’. And Zimbabwe
today is a mismanaged nation that is bankrupt,
isolated and marked by abject poverty and spiraling
unemployment.
Mugabe’s Zimbabwe is an enquiry into how
Zimbabwe, from its successful independence 30
years ago has collapsed dramatically. The film is a
terrifying story, plotting Mugabe’s three decades of
bloodshed, terror and corruption and narrates how
he turned hope into desolation. |
