Con Before watching this particular film, after viewing various trailers, interviews, news reports I can gather that I am going to be strongly opposed to Mugabe and his tyrannical regime. However what I mean to find out within this debate is whether or not the white Zimbabweans are right within their being there via what they do for the economy, job prospects etc. I am fully aware of the British conquests in Africa though I am yet to read about activity in Zimbabwe, was Mugabe right in a sense that the land did not belong to these farmers, though I am against his violent ousting of them I would like to know the opinions of others on the matter and if there are any members in Zimbabwe how has this affected them and what are their views on the matter?

Put it this way, the whites in Zimbabwe were mainly farmers. Under their tenure, the country became known as "the bread-basket of Africa". However, after Muagbe kicked the whites off their farms and installed his henchmen and cronies in their place the crops withered and died due to lack of care and attention, and now Zimabbwe now relies on food aid from abroad and is known as the "basket-case of Africa".

Of course, the whites occupied a privileged position but to boot them out and replace them with thugs and bandits was a big mistake.
