@Casey Wow!

[Mark Raats @mark_raats]

Mapenzi

He is not Tsotsi, terrorist, uMkhonto we Sizwe, SWAPO, RUF

A man who has to protect his village, his family and his livestock while around them the world of war burns

Nearly 90% of war-time casualties are civilians

@clemetheus @KathrynMannco Haha scared the hell out of me as well. I watched it a few years ago, also loved it!

[Mike Raats @MikeRaats]

@clemetheus @KathrynMannco Haven’t you watched it before?

[Mike Raats @MikeRaats]

@clemetheus What you get when a director makes his own ‘star wars’ movie without the mouse overlords butting in!

@AbroadInJapan Had it on order since it was available for preorder, started it yesterday and been living it so far!

[Mike Raats @MikeRaats]

@nshroff86 @AbroadInJapan It’s really good; even more so because it’s been narrated by Chris.

[Mike Raats @MikeRaats]

Ready to listen to the dulcet tones of @AbroadInJapan

[Mike Raats @MikeRaats]

@nshroff86 @AbroadInJapan Yeah bud, had it on preorder since he announced it ages ago. Are you?

[Mike Raats @MikeRaats]

Well this doesn’t bode well for my night …
