Namibia, officially the Republic of Namibia (Afrikaans: Republiek van Namibië, German: Republik Namibia (help·info)), is a country in southern Africa whose western border is the Atlantic Ocean. It shares land borders with Angola and Zambia to the north, Botswana to the east and South Africa to the south and east. It gained independence from South Africa on 21 March 1990, following the Namibian War of Independence. Its capital and largest city is Windhoek. Namibia is a member state of the United Nations (UN), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the African Union (AU), and the Commonwealth of Nations.
The dry lands of Namibia were inhabited since early times by Bushmen, Damara, and Namaqua, and since about the 14th century AD by immigrating Bantu who came with the Bantu expansion. It became a German Imperial protectorate in 1884 and remained a German colony until the end of World War I. In 1920, the League of Nations mandated the country to South Africa, which imposed its laws and, from 1948, its apartheid policy.

Plot: "A young Brazilian girl called Namibia tells her dad the tale of a famous tragedy which took place many decades earlier on the opposite side of the world. Her unique interpretation of such tragedy shows that it will never be forgotten, but it also teaches a lesson of wisdom and hope that crosses all borders of time, language, geography and ancestry. "Namibia, Brasil" is a magical father and daughter story dedicated to the human cause and its struggles to keep going."
