Synopsis

The film, I Am the Rape is a Zimbabwean film that brings a poem by Dambudzo Marechera to visual life. The film focuses on the racial violence Marechera and many other Zimbabweans came across when dealing with the police. It shows all this by using documentary images, some staged some real, in order to capture the true harrowing experience a group of people had to endure while living in Zimbabwe.
