Film Festival Highlights Zim White Farmers' Plight

The two films shown bring to the world the suffering of farm labourers brought about by their masters' evictions from the farms when Mugabe's controversial land re-allocation programme was launched at the turn of the millennium (2000).

The first film, House of Justice, which is a 26-minute documentary, pays special attention to the experiences of farm workers who have been some of the worst affected victims of Zimbabwe's land reforms, but whose story remained largely untold. The documentary depicts human rights violations that have taken place on the farms in Zimbabwe, which are supposedly protected by the SADC Tribunal.
