The Last Boers of Patagonia (2014)

In a remote region of Patagonia, there is a small town where a handful of people speak Afrikaans - a language unique to South Africa. Their songs and food from the far side of the world shows a fierce pride in their culture, but this is now on the brink of extinction. Their story is one of preservation: over a century ago, the Afrikaans-speaking Boers of South Africa lost a war of independence against the British, resulting in 600 families of these descendants of the Dutch boarding ships and sailing to Argentina, to start a new life. Today, most of them have had no connection with SA for over three generations. One family is desperate to reconnect with their motherland to keep their culture alive.
