In 2008, a tribunal of the South African Development Community (SADC) ruled that the Zimbabwean government’s policy of taking over white-owned farms was illegal. Despite the ruling, official harassment of white farm owners and the thousands of workers employed at their farms continued. This 25 minute film, titled “House of Justice,” documents the farmers and farm workers struggle against the government of Zimbabwe. It also shows, in stark terms, how top government officials used torture to intimidate farm owners and their workers. The film’s producer, Gertrude Hambira, is the General Secretary of the General Agricultural and Plantation Union of Zimbabwe. She was forced into hiding shortly after its release. She remains in hiding to this day.
