Die Ongetemde Stem, or The Voice Behind The Wall, is a conscientious examination of the Afrikaans music industry and the racial imbalances that persist almost 30 years since the abolishment of Apartheid. Even though the Afrikaans language was used to champion white supremacy during Apartheid, its origins lay within the brown communities of Southern Africa. This documentary exposes the cultural appropriation of Afrikaans by the white elite and delves into the disastrous state of the post-Apartheid Afrikaans music industry, where the erasure of brown contributions to the Afrikaans culture is still perpetuated.
