Storyline

“First People on Earth” is a tragicomic family saga about a biracial woman re-experiencing her native Namibia after decades in Europe.

Returning to her birth country for a family funeral, and bringing her non-verbal, pre-adolescent son in tow, the heroine falls in with a troupe of theatrical Bushmen – an Indigenous tribe, divorced from their historic lands, forced to re-enact ancestral myths for tourist dollars.
