LEGACY: The Decolonized History of South Africa
Dutch Premiere | Tara Moore | South Africa | 2025 | 110 min | Documentary | English, Xhosa, Zulu (English subtitled)
In a land long defined by others, a new story emerges, one told in its own voice. Legacy reclaims South Africa’s past from the grip of empire, weaving testimonies of elders, artists, and activists into a powerful portrait of survival and self-definition. From the salt plains of the Karoo to the townships where culture became resistance, the film dismantles colonial myths and restores dignity to those erased from history. Told with intimacy and urgency, Legacy is not just about what was taken, it’s about what endures: spirit, rhythm, and imagination redefining freedom itself.
