SCHOOL SCREENING: SORRY FOR THE GENOCIDE

(Dir.: Elmarie Kapunda, Lisa Ossenbrink, Theodora Shandé, Matteo Sant’Unione; Germany/Namibia/Botswana 2026; DCP | Original Version with Subtitles | 83 min.)

SORRY FOR THE GENOCIDE is a documentary journey through the shared history of Namibia and Germany, a history that remains relevant to this day. Between 1904 and 1908, German colonial troops killed up to 100,000 people in what is now Namibia—a crime considered the first genocide of the 20th century. More than a century later, Germany intends to officially recognize this genocide and offer an apology through the “Joint Declaration.” But the agreement has not been met with universal approval: The descendants of the Ovaherero and Nama, who were directly affected, feel excluded—they are demanding justice and a say in the matter.
