Herero is a deeply personal project that brings Namibia’s hidden history - Germany’s first genocide and South Africa’s unspoken apartheid - into urgent global conversation, inviting reflection on how truth-telling and cultural memory are essential to healing today.

We’ve received initial support from the Canada Council for the Arts and are now fiscally sponsored by the International Documentary Association, which means all U.S. donations are tax-deductible.

We’re currently raising funds for a pivotal shoot in Namibia this October, including coverage of the annual genocide commemoration and an ongoing court case related to reparations.

Donations will go toward:

  • Hiring the local production company

  • Paying our crew (cinematographer, sound recordist, location manager)

  • Covering travel, lodging, logistics

  • Cinema-grade camera and sound equipment

  • And offering honoraria to the Katuuo family

Our goal is to raise $40,000 to complete this phase and produce a 10-minute reel to secure full production and post-production financing. See our pitch video, here, for more details.

Every contribution helps - and we’re so grateful.

Herero FAQ
Is my donation tax deductible?
Depends on a few factors like if you received a reward in exchange for the donation and the value of your donation above that rewards cost, etc. You may contact the nonprofit you donated to directly to receive information on whether or not your donation is tax deductible. Nonetheless, the emailed receipts you will receive for your donation is the documentation you need to make it tax deductible.
