This movie sums up Die Antwoord in a nut-shell. You either "get" Die Antwoord or you don't. If you understand the history of Ninja and Yo-Landi and the history of their group Die Antwoord, then you will totally understand how awesome this movie (short) is. Otherwise you will be staring at the screen thinking, "What did I just watch?". A lot of symbolism from the group's background can be seen throughout the film as well as the relationship between Yo-Landi and Ninja. Some of the non-English words are subtitled and some are not. It would be recommended to look up certain words spoken in Afrikaans that you hear while watching this movie, then watch it again to get a better understanding of all the dialog. A word of warning (not a spoiler)... Once you've seen Umshini Wam a few times, you will become addicted to the charm of this film.
