Banished: Mugabe of Zimbabwe
By Andrew Whaley. When the President asks Aurelia to make a film about him she is flattered. But does she really think she can make a difference?
By Andrew Whaley. It is 2000, and Aurelia, studying in London, returns home to Zimbabwe following her father's death. Years before he had worked with Robert Mugabe, and now Aurelia learns that the President is to attend the funeral. Their meeting is the start of a dark and frightening journey.
