It’s 1980 in Rhodesia during the “Bush War” as agreements have been negotiated between political parties and change is in the air. British and white minority rule is to end and the black majority will take power to officially establish the country of Zimbabwe.
Based on the award winning-novel of the same name by Alexandra Fuller, the story follows Bobo, a seven-year-old white girl, raised on a gritty African farm who watches the historical events unfold. Bobo feels the tension in both her family and the servants but can see both sides of the story as a new community creates itself from the ashes of war.
“A powerful, wonderfully detailed film, with three outstanding performances.” – The Guardian
