Namibia - Der Kampf um die Freiheit (2007)
Im südafrikanisch besetzten Namibia sammelt der junge Samuel Nujoma schon früh schlechte Erfahrung mit der Arroganz und Unmenschlichkeit der weißen Kolonialbürokratie. Als belesener Mensch mit den Ideen von Freiheit und Sozialismus vertraut, beteiligt sich Nujoma am Aufbau einer militanten Widerstandsbewegung, geht vorübergehend ins Exil und beteiligt sich in den 60ern aktiv am Guerillakrieg der SWAPO. In den 80er Jahren erreicht Nujoma seine Anerkennung durch die UNO und wird schließlich zum ersten Präsidenten des befreiten Landes.
