| Summary |
Short-listed as one of the 15 best documentaries of 2010, Mugabe and the White African is the story of one family’s astonishing bravery as they fight to protect their property, their livelihood and their country. Mike Campbell is one of the few white farmers left in Zimbabwe since its leader, Robert Mugabe, enacted his disastrous land redistribution program. Once the breadbasket of Africa, Zimbabwe has since spiraled into chaos, the economy decimated as farms given to Mugabe cronies are run into ruin. After enduring years of intimidation and threats, Campbell decides to take action. Unable to call upon help from his country’s authorities, he challenges Mugabe before an international court.

"CRITICS' PICK! Filmed at tremendous risk... Surprisingly VISCERAL and RIVETING!" - New York Magazine. "ENGROSSING AND ENRAGING! Gripping...Astonishing!" - National Public Radio.
