Mugabe movie premieres in London

LONDON — Granted unprecedented access to President Robert Mugabe for a new documentary, filmmaker Roy Agyemang provocatively questions whether the Zimbabwean leader is the demon that the Western media portrays.

Though no concrete election date has yet been set, the 88-year-old reportedly suffering from prostate cancer, will run for another term.

The developing story is sure to attract just as much international attention as the country’s previous presidential election in 2008, which was mired in controversy and resulted in an uneasy coalition between Mugabe’s Zanu PF party and the MDC formations.
