What inspired the making of Skulls Of My People?

Skulls Of My People felt like a spiritual obligation. It just had to be done, especially in the current social political climate where issues of land redistribution is being discussed. And what better way is there than to have a documentary as a catalyst for this conversation.

What do you attribute its success to?

Because it purely came from the heart. You can literally feel the energy of the people behind the project.

What will winning a 2018 SAFTA mean to you and the rest of the crew?

It will be such fulfilment especially because at first we struggled getting funding because people told us there is no story. And so winning a SAFTA will be a good validation. But also will highlight the struggle of the people of Namibia especially the Nama and Herero people

Watch the trailer for Skulls Of My People.
