About the episode

Namibia has honoured the victims of the German genocide in their country, as politicians and affected communities voice fresh calls for reparations. In what is considered the first genocide of the 20th Century, German soldiers killed some 65,000 OvaHerero people and 10,000 Nama people between 1904 and 1908.
