This video is a historical account of Robert Mugabe's rise to power in Zimbabwe as a freedom fighter, his brutal tactics in leading the country, and his legacy of economic disaster. It also covers the background of Rhodesia's push for independence from Britain, the rise of black nationalism, and the violent conflict that ensued. The video highlights Mugabe's popularity as a liberation hero and his alignment with Joshua Nkomo in forming the guerrilla army against Ian Smith's Rhodesian security forces.\n
