About the movie

Kapana (2020) is the first Namibian film featuring a gay love story. In a country where sodomy is still a crime and gay relationships are stigmatised, the lives of two men become intertwined.

George is a middle-class insurance broker living in central Windhoek. Simeon is a kapana seller who lives in Katutura, Windhoek's township. Two secrets. One unlikely meeting in a bar. And the rest is history...

Kapana tells the story of two young Namibian men who have nothing in common and yet, against all odds, they fall in love. 

The film explores themes around love, secrecy, fears and commitment, and looks at the fabric of Namibian society and some of the fears of what is morally acceptable.
