Healing From Our History For Ama
-
- Documentary
History is still living. It lives on through our families, communities, and institutions. For elders in our communities, who carry the actual memories of displacement and apartheid in Namibia, the process of healing from our history can be especially difficult. Today, we listen to the story of a revolutionary. Now in her mid-60s, she reflects on what it was like to fight for independence, experience postpartum depression, and fall in and out of love during times of revolution. Through her life story, we learn what it means to both acknowledge our painful history while also allowing ourselves to heal from it.
