Let us not dwell on the past . . . I'm an old man, Charles. Old enough to know the past is only good for one thing destroying the future. Guy and Kathleen grow their crops, raise their daughter, and pay their taxes. But Africa is changing, country by country. White farmers in Zimbabwe must now answer for history's crimes.
