In 1973, Jason Hamutenya Ndadi - Wanahepo - appeared to the world for the first time. He had played a significant role in escorting a Swedish TV-team on the first visit by foreign journalists to SWAPO's operational areas in the Caprivi. The TV documentary provided an opportunity for SWAPO and the liberation struggle of the Namibian people to be brought directly to the international community without threat from the South African apartheid regime and, through Wanahepo, to give the guerrilla commander a humanity and human face. Such sequences constitute an important element of this film.
Wanahepo was killed in 1977 and buried in Lubango, Angola. In this film his family and comrades give their personal impressions of Wanahepo as a leader, commander, husband, and father. The film also portrays the emotional repatriation of Wanahepo's remains to his final resting place and his reburial back home in Namibia.
