2011/12 Season

MUGABE AND THE WHITE AFRICAN

UK 2009 (12A) 90 minutes Directed by Lucy Bailey & Andrew Thompson

Ipswich Film Theatre - 12 September 2011 - 7.30pm A powerful documentary of a white Zimbabwean farmer and his fight against the government’s threatened seizure of his property. The family are intimidated and beaten, finally receiving a court ruling that their land seizure was unlawful. A compelling story of human rights. AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Riveting and inspring documentary. Stunning photography; Very gripping and emotional. It would be good to know what has happened to date since the film; Very distressing but an amazing film that eveybody should see; I felt it was rather lacking in balance, but the pain was very apparent; Important issue let down by lousy camera work and poor editing. Overlong.
