Abstract

Namibian filmmaker Kavena Hambira explores a bleak chapter from Namibia's past in his documentary film "Nuh-Mi-Bee-Uhn: Germany's Forgotten Genocide." Between 1904 and 1909, some 75,000 Herero and Nama people were killed in what is now called Namibia but was then known, by Europeans and Americans, as German South West Africa. They were massacred by German colonizers. The film was screened at several locations around Maine this winter.
