Opening of the 3rd season of "Inspiring Young Imaginations – African Films for Children and Youth". AfricAvenir, Endgame Media, FNCC & HISA Windhoek present the Premiere of /GASA.

The 2 episodes of this Namibian animation series centre on the title figure, /Gasa, who comes with a message from the past for the present generation - and a knowledge of the land, a man “who is here for a reason”.

Episode 1

/Gasa travels to the North of Namibia through Etosha – and makes his way to the Quiver Tree Forest in a quest to make a new quiver. On the way, he tells several traditional stories about animals, including how the Jackal got his Black Back.

 Episode 2

Gasa travels to the Topnaar community near Walvis Bay, taste the “bread of the desert” – and almost dies on the Skeleton Coast with-out water. Determined to meet the Ovahimba people to learn more about the Black Rhino - and the poaching problem in the area, he bravely continues. Under the stars one night, he gains a startling insight about what animals mean to this world.
