Toivo: Child of Hope tells the story of the liberation of Namibia, a freedom hard-won after thirty years of bloody struggle against the tyrannical rule of the white minority. Liberation was due, in large part, to the relentless efforts of charismatic leader, Andimba Toivo Ya Toivo, the co-founder of the Namibian nationalist movement and Secretary of the South West Africa People's Organization (SWAPO). Toivo's life acts as a catalyst for a history of Namibia's struggle towards independence.
