Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Roger Ballen's photography defined Die Antwoord's visual identity—this documentary completes a decade-long artistic merger between documentarian and subject that blurs every ethical line.
Sixteen Jones was literally born into this—her parents met making the 'Wat Kyk Jy' video, meaning her entire existence is archived Die Antwoord lore.
