Wikipedia article
'Rider without a Horse' is a Namibian short film directed by Tim Huebschle in 2008.
Plot
Namibia celebrates its 18th Independence anniversary. The 100-year-old Rider Monument (Reiterdenkmal) comes to life. The rider is confronted with what he stands for and decides to change that.
Production Notes
After the film's initial release in April 2009, director Tim Huebschle filmed some more documentary shots during the removal of the Reiterdenkmal in August 2009 which were subsequently edited into the end credits of the film.
The screenplay was written in 2008 amidst the political debate of what to do with the controversial German colonial Reiterdenkmal. 'Rider without a Horse' received a production grant from the now defunct Berlin-Windhoek arts organization 'p.ART.ners'.
