At the age of eight, filmmaker Robyn Paterson greeted Comrade Robert Mugabe with flowers as he stepped from a plane at an air force base in Zimbabwe. She and her best friend, Mercy, were poster children for the new Zimbabwe. Robyn was as pale-skinned as Mercy was dark, so the girls were a symbol that all was well in the independent nation. But it was not. Even then, members of Mercy's Matabele tribe were being massacred by Mugabe's special forces. A generation later, Robyn begins a high-risk ground search across Zimbabwe - desperate to know what has happened to her friend. Along the way she faces the dangers of filming undercover, the shock of what is still going on behind closed doors, and the stark differences that she and Mercy have come to symbolize. By the end of this journey, after overcoming one setback after another, Paterson has provided us with a new and very different look at the Mugabe era.

How to Watch Finding Mercy Legally and Safely

If you want to stream Finding Mercy through reputable and legal services, there are a few good options depending on where you are. Subscription platforms like HBO Max, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+ sometimes carry Finding Mercy films or related DC titles—though availability depends on your country.

If you’d rather not commit to a subscription, there are ad‑supported, free (but legal) platforms such as Tubi, Pluto TV, Peacock or Crackle (where available in your region) that occasionally host superhero films.

Lastly, don’t forget about library‑linked streaming options like Kanopy or Hoopla (if your library or university is registered), and official uploads by film distributors on YouTube—these can also give you legal access to classic movies.
