“The story of the birth of Namibia's armed struggle against South Africa”
In Paths to Freedom, veterans of Namibia's liberation struggle tell how they formed OPC (Ovamboland People's Congress), OPO (Ovamboland People's Organisation) and SWAPO (South West African Peoples Organisation) to fight to an end to the cruelties of contract labour and to demand the withdrawal of South Africa from Namibia. Told against the contexts of the United Nations' responsibility for Namibia and the Winds of Change sweeping across Africa in the 1950s and 1960s, the film tracks the many journeys Namibians undertook to campaign for freedom and finally launch the armed struggle at Omugulugwombashe on August 26, 1966
