Amampondro Documentary - Sixela ngesiMpondo
The Amampondro Documentary explores the rich history and living heritage of the Mpondo people. It traces how the arrival of missionaries among Xhosa groups in the 1820s marginalized the Mpondo language, reducing it to the margins of society and exposing it to stigma and mockery. Today, the story turns to the resilience of the Mpondo community, highlighting efforts to reclaim their language through everyday use and cultural pride. At its heart, the film is a journey of decolonization and revitalization, showing how language remains a powerful vessel of identity, memory, and belonging.
