Based on Alexandra Fuller’s memoir of the same name, Don’t Let’s Go To The Dogs Tonight captures the childhood of 7-year-old Bobo on her family farm.
Set in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) Bobo tells the story of her life at the end of the Zimbabwean War for independence in 1980.
Growing up in the midst of this long running war, Bobo internalises both sides of the struggle.
Conflicted by her love for people on opposing sides, she tries to make sense of her life in a magical way.
Through her seven-year-old gaze we witness Rhodesia’s final days, the family’s unbreakable bond with Africa, and the deep scars that war leaves on survivors.
‘this utterly heartfelt, beautifully shot and meticulously realised movie’ – The Guardian ★★★★☆
