Lies in the first 5 minutes

In the first 5 minutes Yolandi lies and says she was 19 when she met Ninja in 2001. Except that Wikipedia lists her birthdate as December 1, 1984. That means she was most likely 16 (or possibly 17 if they met in December) when she met Ninja. He would have been 26 or 27.

This "documentary" starts with a lie because the truth of Die Antwoord is too disgusting. Nothing after that lie can be trusted. This video is merely slick propaganda meant to rehabilitate their image. And they enlist their daughter, Sixteen, as their mouthpiece.

The visuals and editing are reminiscent of their music videos. Which is to say they are very stylistic and engaging. But this comes across as more of a long form commercial for Die Antwoord than a documentary.
