Ikosa Media Production hosted the premiere of their locally produced documentary, Echoes of Omusati.

The film captures historic sites, cultural practices and contributions of the Omusati people to Namibia's national identity.

It also presents a story about the liberation struggle, reflecting themes of sacrifice, resilience and the enduring impact of Namibia's journey to freedom.

The founder of Ikosa Media Production, Morna Ikosa, said she has always been passionate about creating movies and documentaries that showcase Namibia and its rich heritage, culture and stories.

"We have invested our time, our passion, and our money in this production. We wanted Namibia to see what we can do because in Namibia, unfortunately, sometimes you need to show before people can really see the value that you can bring."

Governor of the |Khomas Region, Sam Nujoma, said storytelling has always played an important role in preserving tradition, honouring history and passing knowledge from one generation to the next.

"Film as a modern form of storytelling gives us a powerful platform to document these stories and ensure that they continue to inspire future generations. The Mzati region holds a special place in Namibia's national story. It is a region of rich cultural heritage and deeply connected to our history and liberation struggle."

Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Emma Theofelus, said, "The past, although it is in the past, is a very big reminder of where we are now and where we ought to be and where to go. I believe the storyline through Echoes of a Musati will be able to see the thread of why certain demographics, why certain older citizens in our country act the way they do, why they think the way they do, what has influenced their psyche and where that is rooted in our identity."
