Home & Away - Stories of a Zimbabwean Exile

Home & Away tells the human stories of the Zimbabwean exile, forced to be away from their motherland due to consecutive years of misrule and tyranny. It tells the story of the highly educated, qualified Zimbabwean, scrounging away at the nursing homes in England; of the women waiting for their men back in Zimbabwe, of the hundreds of fatherless children trafficked in and out of South Africa to visit long lost grandparents. It tells the stories of the ones who stayed at home; of those who constantly try to return; only to be confronted by the harsh realities of a once beautiful land, ravaged by corruption, misrule, human rights abuses and a collapsing economy. It lays bare the emotional, economic, and social destruction ravaging a country once referred to as the “bread basket” of the region, through the eyes of those that stayed at home, and those that went away!
