Description
Summary:Soros Documentary Fund Independence in Zimbabwe in 1980 meant an end to many forms of oppression. Yet soon after the celebrations, another war started in Matabeleland. Why another war, asks a former guerrilla fighter, when they had fought for freedom and justice and thought they had won? The filmmaker's quest takes her to meet a member of the 5th Brigade, which had undertaken the massacres on behalf of the newly formed Zimbabwean government. His deeds still torment him, although he has tried the official restitution. The war for freedom has not yet been won. “Soul in Torment” is volume four of "Landscape of Memory," a four part documentary series on reconciliation in southern Africa.
