Samuel and Nased. A story of resistance in 7 pranks vindicates the historical figures of the resistance and alliances of the Nama and Herero peoples against German colonialism in Namibia. The children, together with their friends, perform different pranks and tricks to fight the colonizers responsible for imposing violence through eugenic policies against communities in the global south. On the other hand, the series celebrates the failure of eugenic policies and the continued reproduction and growth of communities and peoples of the Global South historically persecuted and violated in their reproductive rights.
