Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight

Life, through the eyes of 8-year-old daughter Bobo, unfolds on a struggling White settler’s Rhodesian farm during the final stages of the guerrilla war against British colonial rule.  A bit of a “wild child,” Bobo is guided by her erratic mother, older sister and a local Black woman who provides the only stability she knows.  Starring Lexi Venter as Bobo, this adaptation of Alexandra Fuller’s memoir, directed by Embeth Davidtz, is a haunting look at a family caught in the tides of African history.
