Mugabe and the White African trailer

http://www.documentary.org/docuweeks09

This film is part of IDA's DocuWeeks '09.

Michael Campbell is one of the few hundred white farmers still left in Zimbabwe since President Robert Mugabe began his land seizure program. Mike, like hundreds of farmers before him, has suffered years of multiple land invasions and violence at his farm. But now this grandfather, a tough, humorous 74-year-old fifth-generation white African farmer, is alone in making a stand. He is taking Mugabe to an international court in Namibia in May for racism and violation of his civil rights. Mike and his son-in law Ben Freeth stand ready to protect their life's work.

@munens1 seriously how dumb can you get? in the end the black community suffered, one farmer employed more then 4,000 people and had a school for 250 children, guess what happened when the white farmer got kicked out the community collapsed and now is reliant on food aid this happened all over Zimbabwe. I just cant understand how you can be so arrogant and dumb. Zimbabwe was the food basked of Africa no it is reliant on food aid.

the funny thing about south africa is,there where no blacks there untill whitey came along and built it.

Unbelievable; just saw the documentary here in Holland. Instead of focusing on the threatening, beating of white farmers, Mugabe should try to get his country in harmony.

Mugabe isn't Mandela unfortunately, Mugabe destroys his own country and will go to hell one day. Like the lawyer from Campbel said after seeing the beat-up pictures: how can people do this to each other?

I honestly have to say that Mugabe was wrong to take away the man's land. However, he has a point. Africa, originally belonged to the people who were born their before the arrival of Europeans.Now for people to say that African has been given better opportunites by being taken over by Europeans, they are wrong. I agree with those who say that Africa was civilized before the arrival of Europeans. The truth is, taking Africans from their homes and shipping them in boats is the uncivilized thing.

Viva Mugabe, fuck this film.

@salzwell25: If you believe your statement then you know nothing of Africa, before the white man, Africans had civilization, it is only trouble, oppression and slavery of the people that a white man brought to the African land. Learn some African history, maybe you will reason better, after all the saying is truth, ignorance is the friend of stupidity,
