Filming is banned in Zimbabwe, so Bailey and Thompson are themselves risking their lives to film this documentary.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 17, 2020

The most interesting aspect of the film is when it questions the definition of an African.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 28, 2019

The result is part legal thriller, part five-hankie melodrama.

| Jan 4, 2011

The filmmakers leave massive and sometimes reactionary holes in a film that could easily have pled a more accommodating and sophisticated yet equally airtight case.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 6, 2010

In a continent where despotic rule is not uncommon, there is little argument that Mugabe is the most monstrous of rulers.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 2, 2010

The final hearing is the most extraordinary scene in the film.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 13, 2010

Mugabe and the White African is cinema-as-journalism at its most aesthetically confident and humanely satisfying.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 27, 2010

This portrait of a strident white farmer and his family in Zimbabwe is interesting for its close-up view of life there, but it skips too many details and ends up being morally ambiguous.

| Jul 26, 2010

This extraordinary profile in courage starkly bears passionate and brave witness as two flinty farmers stand up for their rights in a good vs. evil fight.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jul 24, 2010

Compelling true-life story of the legal battle between a white farmer and the repressive Zimbabwean regime.

| Jul 23, 2010

Many viewers will leave "Mugabe and the White African" thinking that they have seen few, if any, documentaries as wrenching, sad and infuriating, and those feelings will be justified.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 23, 2010

The film clandestinely captures marauders in action while embedding itself in the imperiled home of aging farmer Michael Campbell.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 21, 2010

Not highlighting the colonized history of Zimbabwe is a huge error for the one-sided doc that at times depicts the Black Zimbabweans as emotionless and racist savages. That said, it's a fearless film but do your own research to be fully informed.

| Original Score: B | Jul 20, 2010

Tthis incendiary documentary showcases Mugabe's corrupt use of land reform to further polarize a fragile nation already divided along racial lines.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 15, 2010

[A] gripping documentary.

| Jan 15, 2010

It excels as a courtroom drama, a tense thriller, a ringing call to arms, and, most of all, as a humbling portrait of the unflappable, indefatigable farmers and their families.

Full Review | Jan 15, 2010

Shot more like a thriller, this powerful documentary follows a white Zimbabwean family as they take on one of the most ruthless dictators in human history. It's both riveting and wrenching, and needs to be seen as far and wide as possible.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 8, 2010
