This film adds to the worldwide growing conversation of native peoples reclaiming their land and taking up space for the first time in modern society. This documentary follows the first peoples of Southern Africa, the Khoi, and San, fighting to save the two rivers and the cultural significance they carry for their identity.

These rivers have been a point of contention several times in their history as they mark the first land dispossession and encounters with colonialism involving Jan Van Riebeek and the Dutch East India Company as well as the Portuguese and Khoi & San War. They are and have been important cultural symbols and embodiments of their rituals and identities throughout centuries of language and land loss.

But once again these rivers are at the forefront of colonial injustice as Liesbeek Leisure Property Trust builds a R4.5 billion development on the confluence of the rivers that will host Amazon.com. Members of the community have been against this development from the start of 2017 but have faced many challenges and delays in getting the issue heard in court.

With this development having major financial backing and continuing to build despite the high court halting the development, it seems capitalism will once again shape the landscape of Cape Town and bury the history of its true founders.
