In the shadow of a forgotten massacre, A Zimbabwean man haunted by his father’s unburied spirit sets out to break a family curse, confronting both past horrors and his own troubled legacy.
Twenty years after leaving Zimbabwe for a fresh start in Botswana, Chris Nyathi is struggling, and has long believed his family’s misfortunes are the result of a curse. The news of Robert Mugabe’s death reopens old wounds, and Chris sets out on a journey to find and re-bury his father’s body.
Named after the region in Zimbabwe where Mugabe committed atrocities in the 1980s, Matabeleland is a rare exploration of vulnerability in African manhood – a personal story of how historical violence ripples through generations, shaping families, relationships and identity.
