Description: Robert Jacklin is thrown into the aftermath of war when his family moves from England to Zimbabwe in the 1980s, and when he is enrolled in a prestigious boarding school, he faces racism and violence and must make a difficult decision as a group of white boys decides to protest the country's new government.

In 1983, at an elite boys' boarding school in Zimbabwe, thirteen-year-old English lad Robert Jacklin finds himself torn between his black roommate and the white bullies still bitter over losing power through the recent civil war.
