POV

Mugabe and the White African

Season 24 Episode 6 | 1hr 19m 59s

'Mugabe and the White African,' much of which was filmed clandestinely, tells an alarming story from one of the world's most troubled nations. In Zimbabwe, dictator Robert Mugabe has unleashed a "land reform" program aimed at driving whites from the country through violence and intimidation. One proud "white African," however, has challenged Mugabe with human rights abuses under international law.
