More than hundred years have passed since the German genocide against the Herero and Nama. It wasn't until 2015 that the Federal Foreign Office officially recognized these crimes. The film guides us through Herero Day, weaving together historical archive images that vividly depict the genocide and the German perspective on the Herero and Nama during that time. These images not only illustrate the atrocities but also offer insights into the prevailing German attitudes of that time. The impact of the genocide, coupled with the trauma of German colonial rule, remains palpable today. This historical injustice continues to shape the culture and identity of both the Herero and Nama ethnic groups.
