If individual men and women allow evil to advance unchecked, it will prevail and more people will suffer and starve” – Ben Freeth

This was spoken in response to the video that has come out entitled Mugabe and the white African, a film that follows 75-year old grandfather Mike Campbell, his son-in-law Ben Freeth and their family over a period of approximately 18 months. White Zimbabwean farmers, they courageously refuse to hand over their Mount Carmel farm to Zanu PF thugs, despite frequent and intensifying violence, both threatened and actual.

Unfortunately the DVD has not yet been released here in the States, so until then the trailer which can be found at http://www.imdb.com/video/wab/vi3334668825/ is all we have to go on, but if a trailer can bring me to tears then that only promises to be a gut wrenching watch when out for general viewing.  A good friend of mine knows Ben and his family and speaking with her about the situation has been absolutely incredible – I am normally not one for movies about back home, too close to the bone etc etc but I encourage everyone to at least watch the trailer before making up their minds whether this is for them or not.
