Watch the Trailer of South African Khoi Movie Making Waves

The film, called Krotoa, is still yet to be released in local cinemas but has already scooped eight international awards. The film tells the story of an 11-year-old girl who is removed from her close-knit Khoi tribe to be a domestic worker for Jan van Riebeeck, her uncle's trading partner. She then grows into a visionary young woman, a linguist and negotiator and becomes Van Riebeeck's interpreter. The Dutchman was the first Governor of the Cape Colony.
