(Simon Bright / UK/France/South Africa / 85 minutes / 2011)
Afrika Eye Film Festival invites you to ROBERT MUGABE... WHAT HAPPENED? shortlisted for Best Newcomer Award BAFTA. Screening followed by a Q&A with exiled Zimbabwean film maker SIMON BRIGHT, now living in Bristol.
On February 21st President Mugabe turned 88. As he celebrates 32 years of power, Zimbabwe fearfully prepares for elections and a new constitution. Amid rumours of his ailing health, and after the suspicious death of General Solomon Mujuru, a contender for succession, the explosive story of ROBERT MUGABE...WHAT HAPPENED? will show at the Cube in Bristol with director SIMON BRIGHT in attendance.
"No tyrant is without history, without formation. It is important to criticise and condemn within the remit of full knowledge, not simply to demonise. This is an important film because it gives Robert Mugabe dimension. Simon Bright has done us all sterling service." Professor Stephen Chan.
