Based on Alexandra Fuller's memoir, this South African-produced drama follows eight-year-old Bobo growing up on a farm in Rhodesia during the final days of the Bush War and the country's transition to Zimbabwean independence. The child's-eye perspective is the film's central device: Bobo absorbs her family's colonial worldview while the world outside dismantles it. That framing, which treats inherited racial prejudice as something to be reckoned with rather than romanticized, is the primary reason the label reads Leans Progressive. The family portrait is more complicated than a simple morality tale, with parental strain and a mixed depiction of traditional structures keeping the signal from running further left.
