You forgot to mention the sanctions imposed against Zimbabwe . Why ? The same sanctions imposed against Cuba , North Korea for refusing a foreign government dictating the rules .

 @vawsonsfurniture They all forget to mention sanctions imposed against Zimbabwe . Every documentary forgets that point . And it is obvious why . Because sanctions make countries poor .

 @MrRjizz The irony is even more pungent when one realises that minerals are needed for the smartphones you typed your comment . Colton from Congo ?

@lmonk9517 That is what they don't talk about in this documentary . They left the most important piece of the puzzle out of the picture . Sanctions destroy nations ! And the Western powers use it to ensure their power .

@davidus9702 Mozambique was not taken from the Portuguese . They fought a bloody war to become independent . Did you know that Portuguese military used napalm to defeat the guerrilas ? Portugal lost the war as they already had in Portuguese Guine-Bissau . If the Potuguese were serious about developing their colonies just like Rhodesians and white South African minority government they would have made education and health available to all . They would have treated the African people with dignity . Not like brute force to be used in mining , plantations and factories . After the horrors of ww2 all colonial administrations should have changed the way they treated the populations . But they did not .

What a biased documentary . So much was left out to back the narrative of Rodhesia / Zimbabwe was better when the whites were in power .
