African Film: Edwin Santiago on "Namibia: The Struggle for Liberation"

Host Toni Tabora Roberts interviews Edwin Santiago, producer and editor of "Namibia: The Struggle for Liberation", which will be shown as part of the Cascade Festival of African Films this Friday, February 20th. Based on the autobiography of Sam Nujoma, Namibia's first president and former leader of SWAPO (South West Africa People's Organization), the film depicts the long struggle waged by the people of Namibia for their independence that was ultimately won with the help of Cuban military volunteers fighting in Angola.
