March 12, 2022, Kapana wins the Hivos free to be me award. This is the first Namibian film telling a queer love story. In a country where sodomy is still a crime and same-sex relationships are stigmatized, two lives intersect: George, an out middle-class insurance broker living in central town, Windhoek, and Simeon, a closeted kapana (grilled meat) seller who lives in Katutura, Windhoek’s township. Two secrets. One unlikely meeting in a bar. Micha talks with director Philippe Talavera and actor Simon Hanga.
