I had a client couple years ago. They were about the strangest in a strange land. He had been So. African military and spent time in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. He talked about his intense training as a killing machine. He was discharged because he crushed an obnoxious commanding officer's larynx with a punch, and was kind of on the lam, though they had no cash problems. She was very strange too, an odd but ingratiating witchy type foreign woman. They talked about their intense sexual relationship right in the open. I guess I didn't want to piss them off and get my larynx crushed.

When on a vacation with my wife to Washington State to view the scablands, in the group was a doctor and his wife. I talked with them over dinner. She was an author and had written a book about the white genocide in Zimbabwe. Her extended family were farmers. She had relatives raped and killed. She still displayed a sadness of PTSD. She had narrowly escaped. She said nothing in any news approached the enormity of the event, so she wrote her own and I gather was well known for the book, though I can't remember what it was.

I've got a distant relative there of unknown relation. He did really well by borrowing money and buying up land, then paying off the loans after the money was destroyed by their version of the Fed.

I hope no one kills him.

Any recommendations for good movies about Rhodesia?

The Siege of Jadotville is in the general area.
