Details

We Are Proud to Present... is about the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as Southwest Africa, From the German Sudwestafrika, Between the Years 1884 - 1915. "I'm not doing a German accent - You aren't doing an African accent - We aren't doing accents" A group of actors gather to tell the little-known story of the first genocide of the 20th Century. As the full force of a horrific past crashes into the good intentions of the present, what seemed a far away place and time is suddenly all too close to home. Just whose story are they telling?
