Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya's first elected Prime Minister and President
The connection between Christian evangelism and European colonialism exposed in a documentary about Germany's activities in Namibia, including their first use of concentration camps.
This documentary is a bold exploration of Germany's attempts to colonise parts of Africa through religion and trade. It scrutinises the role of missionaries in laying the groundwork for colonialism in countries like Togo, Cameroon, Namibia and South Africa. Through interviews with German and African experts Teno paints a provocative picture of the relatively short but nevertheless horrific German colonial history in Africa.
