Produced by Kevin Harris in 1988, "Namibia - no easy road to Freedom" looked at the harsh realities suffered by Namibia's civilian population under a history of colonial occupation and more specifically the brutalisation suffered as a consequence of South African military occupation. As such, the film was a cry for liberation from the shackles of South African military occupation and a call by the people of Namibia for the right to self determination through the implementation of United Nations Resolution 435. The film was seized by the South African Security Police from The Video Lab in Johannesburg during post-production mass-duplication & subsequently banned in an unsuccessful attempt by the South African authorities to prevent international distribution. Namibia achieved independence in May 1990.
