Since its inception, Ompata has redefined storytelling in Namibia, offering a fresh narrative for the nation, particularly its youth. In 2020, history was made when this action drama thriller, written and directed by Nino Pequeno and filmed entirely with an iPhone, captivated audiences nationwide. The web series follows a gang’s turbulent journey: a decade of narcotic dealing, betrayal, and the ultimate quest for revenge after one gang member sells out another to gain freedom while the rest face the consequences. Ten years later, the gang’s past catches up with them, reigniting a relentless quest for revenge.
