Synopsis
Can books start a revolution? 1976, my uncle Hans boards an old fishing boat as a member of the left-wing activist group Operation Namibia. Their goal, to fight apartheid with 6000 banned books on board. But what was planned as a five-month journey, turns into a tragic odyssey. OPERATION NAMIBIA, a post-colonial experimental film that oscillates between written correspondence and original photographs.

with: Hans Paret, Barry Considine, Jude Smith, Peter Ellis, Roy Purvis, Kenneth K. Martin, Monika Brandmair
