Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight

Alexandra Fuller returns to Zimbabwe, where her childhood unfolded. Dusty roads, the scent of rain on hot earth, and memories that refuse to loosen their grip. She tries to understand her mother—a woman who survived the loss of three children and found solace in whiskey and rifles. This 2025 drama examines colonial legacy, family trauma, and the complicated love that endures against all odds. Through personal diaries and childhood impressions, the director shows Africa through a child's eyes, where landscape beauty coexists with life's harshness. A story about how the past shapes us, even when we try to run from it.
