100 Years of Silence: The Germans in Namibia

About This Movie

100 Years of Silence: The Germans in Namibia is a compelling documentary that takes a haunting look at the genocide of the Herero people from 1904-1908. Through the eyes of Georgina, a young Herero woman, we get this personal glimpse into history, and it’s really quite striking. The atmosphere is heavy, laden with a sense of loss and the weight of untold stories. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to sit with the uncomfortable truths of colonialism. It doesn't shy away from the grim realities, and the way it intertwines personal narrative with historical context is distinctive. It's a raw portrayal, giving voice to those often silenced, and that’s where its power lies.
