Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight (2025)

Eight-year-old Bobo grows up on her family farm in Rhodesia in 1980 during the final days of the Bush War to end British colonial rule. Her eyes see conflict, the family's bond to the land, and the lasting wounds that war imprints on those who live through it.
