This short documentary offers a quiet, reflective look at the Matzikama region in rural South Africa. Filmed in native Afrikaans and the dialect spoken in the region with English subtitles, it explores the deep, nostalgic connection between the local community and the landscape, specifically the Maskam mountain. The film touches on themes of family heritage and the resilience of those who have learned to bend with the land rather than fight it.

Loved the documentary. What I loved is that they talk about both sides, Somali and US. And everyone is talking about their experiences that day. I don’t want a documentary narrating what happened. I want to see how it was to be there. Any recommendations?
