Indian film gains international distributor

TVF International has taken the worldwide distribution rights of Shrenik Rao’s 54-minute documentary Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, a path-breaking film on Robert Mugabe’s rule in Zimbabwe. The film has been featured as a hot pick of the year in the Factual Entertainment Section of the Cannes Film Festival.

Mugabe’s Zimbabwe narrates a terrifying story, plotting Robert Mugabe’s three decades of bloodshed, terror and corruption and documents and how he turned hope into desolation. The documentary, made in English, will now be adapted in various languages across the world and be featured on multiple media platforms.

The film is thoroughly researched, with unprecedented access to Zimbabwe’s deputy prime minister, vice presidents, governor of Reserve Bank, former Archbishop of Bulawayo and UK’s former secretary of state for international development etc. Commenting on taking up the film for worldwide distribution, TVF International Director Leila Monks said, "TVF International is really pleased to be working with Dolsun Media distributing their film Mugabe's Zimbabwe."

Shot on location in Zimbabwe, England, Scotland and India, the film is an enquiry into how Zimbabwe collapsed dramatically after it gained independence 30 years ago.
