What do you do when your best friend is lost to you in a tide of
violence and cruelty? Do you search across continents to find her?
That is the story of filmmaker Robyn Paterson and her friend Mercy.
At the age of eight, Robyn Paterson greeted Comrade Robert Mugabe
with flowers as he stepped from a plane at a Zimbabwe air force
base. She and her best friend Mercy were the poster children for the
new Zimbabwe.
Robyn was pale skinned, Mercy was dark. The girls were intended to
be a symbol that all was well in the independent nation. But events
of the day hid a more brutal reality. Only a few miles away, Mercy's
Matabele people were being massacred by Mugabe's special forces.
Robyn and her family were forced to flee the country fearing for
their safety, as Mugabe's security forces took hold.
A generation later, Robyn begins a high risk ground search across
Zimbabwe - desperate to find out what happened to her friend. Along
the way she faces the dangers of filming in a country hostile to
media, the shock of what is still going on behind closed doors and
the stark differences that she and Mercy have come to symbolise.
Ultimately, her search takes her on an epic journey.
It is a gripping, heart wrenching story of two women, and a very
different look at the legacy of Robert Mugabe.
