Operation Namibia
Directed by Martin Paret
Can books start a revolution? In 1976, my uncle Hans boards an old fishing boat as a member of the left-wing activist group Operation Namibia. Their goal: fighting apartheid with 6000 banned books on board. But what was planned as a five-month journey, turns into a tragic odyssey. A post-colonial experimental film that oscillates between written correspondence and original photographs.
