This heart-wrenching, enraging documentary is about the last stand of Michael Campbell, a 75-year-old white Zimbabwean farmer who dared to stand up to the racist bullying of President Robert Mugabe. The film’s strength lies in its fearless reportage, the filmmakers are present at some extraordinary events in this very local, and often suffocating, Oscarnominated portrait of a disappearing way of life in Zimbabwe.
