Channel: SABC2
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary
Directed by Gregory Molale, Language of My Soul is a celebration of an African elder who rediscovered her will to live when she decided to revive a language she was once ashamed of.
Born during a time when there was an official license to hunt, stalk and kill the San people, Katrina Esau abandoned her true identity and stopped speaking her language - N|uu - when she was a 17-year-old in 1950.
She then identified as an Afrikaans-speaking Coloured person (term for people of mixed race in South Africa) until she was 67 years old in 1996.
Language of My Soul contrasts an era when the San were denied their humanity and a period when they were finally free to speak their language.
This portrayal of the enduring consequences of imperialism and the disappointments of democracy, follows the struggles of a matriarch concerned about her legacy.
Gregory employs his creative vision for a special salutation of an African elder who is at the intersection of race, gender and cultural exclusion.
