Independence 1980 means peace and the end of oppression. Yet soon after the celebrations another war begins in Matabeleland. But why when the battle for freedom and justice had been won? Uriri introduces us to a member of the 5th Brigade, a secret army that planned massacres on behalf of the newly formed Zimbabwean Government, whose deeds still torment him. The film examines notions of truth and reconciliation that foreshadow current events in Zimbabwe.
