00:00The country we live in was called Rhodesia, but then some Africans said they found a first
00:08and the Euro stole from it.
00:10Twelve whites were murdered with a knife.
00:12But then those Africans turned into terrorists and that's how the war started.
00:17I keep a lookout for terrorists.
00:19Watch out!
00:20Big storm is coming.
00:21This better hold on.
00:22Big storm is coming.
00:24This better hold on.
00:31Sorry about the mess.
00:32Can you have Jacob bring me my tea please?
00:34Yesu wangu.
00:37On our farm we live with Sarah and Jacob.
00:40Tell me a story.
00:42Once upon a time, everyone got along with everyone else.
00:46All of nature has one family.
00:49Ma'am, am I African?
00:52No, papa.
00:53Is it because we don't have brown skin?
01:05There's still Rhodesia in my eyes.
01:07Bring on the bloodshed if that's what they want.
01:09I've got enough ammo for a world war.
01:14Ma'am says she'll die for the slum.
01:16Who said you could come on the slum?
01:18This is my farm.
01:19I believe her.
01:22Are we racist?
01:25What?
01:26Certainly not.
01:27What sort of people are we then?
01:38Africans have eyes to see what the whites cannot see.
01:43These people know what we're doing, so you just better bloody watch yourself.
01:48I'll never leave here, and you'll never leave me.
01:52This is how the story ends.
01:54All our lives we are kissed with separation and loneliness and longing.
