This movie could have been an excellent historic movie to what had happened in South West Africa in the days of it being ruled by South Africa, since the end of the First World War in terms of a mandate from the League of Nations.
What you get instead, is a superficial production of the creation of SWAPO from about 1960 and how South Africa gave SWA its independence in 1990, when it became Namibia. No complexity of those days are properly covered, but some fighting scenes are shown. The film does correctly acknowledge the exclusion of the complexity of the situation in the end credits.
Namibia is now a proud democratic nation and a peaceful country, devoid of its previous conflicts.
