Krotoa

Krotoa, a feisty, bright, young 11 year old girl is removed from her close-knit Khoi tribe to serve Jan van Riebeeck, her uncle's trading partner. She is brought into the first Fort established by the Dutch East India Company in 1652. There she grows into a visionary young woman who assimilates the Dutch language and culture so well that she rises to become an influential interpreter for van Riebeeck who became the first Governor of the Cape Colony. As such Krotoa ends up being rejected by her own Khoi people and destroyed by the Dutch when she tries to find the middle way between the two cultures.

This film, in short, is absolutely fantastic. SO,GO FOR IT..you like Armand Aucamp, blown away by Jacques Bessenger.. A must sea! you won't regret it.

Good cast. Great job. Good movie to pass the time.

Great FILM! You can watch it 4 times and still rediscover little quirks you hadn't noticed. Absolutely amazing.

Loved it! Busting to go to the loo (far too much Diet Coke)! but didn't want to miss a minute of this cracker of sparky and sparkly joyous romp.

I don't have the words for this movie. I'll just leave five stars.

Hits a High Standard of Excellence... GREAT Film.

Roberta Durrant has already made a few such films. But THIS is the best, One of the most interesting, artistically impressive and overall films of the year so far!!!

Really cute movie, I had never seen Jacques Bessenger doing that kind of character.

Loved the movie. Definitely worth watching especially if you like History
