Baxu and the Giants

It was commissioned by the Legal Assistance Centre of Namibia and funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) Germany.

Writers Florian Schott and Girley Jazama chose to tell the story from the inside out - through the eyes of an innocent but toughened-by-life 9-year-old who is deeply rooted in nature and her own heritage.

The film stars Camilla Jo-Ann Daries, Wafeeq /Narimab, Anna Louw, Steven Afrikaner, Robert Hara#gaeb, West Uarije and Ashwyn Mberi.

Keen on finding out what Khata is hiding from her, Baxu investigates and learns that her brother started poaching, in order to improve his family's living conditions.

Baxu has to make a tough decision - will she stay quiet or will she listen to the rhinos, the giants of the Savannah, who she talks to in her dreams and risk losing the people she loves the most?
