Die Stories van Afrikaans

The documentary series celebrates and explores all these aspects in eight captivating episodes. With rich archival material and more than a hundred authoritative voices, this series traces the fascinating true stories of the characters, clashes, loves and long journeys that have woven the language through four centuries and tied it to the African soil – from the melting pot at the Cape where three continents met to the turbulent present where there is as much excitement as concern about the language.
