Good bye Coli(2014-2020)
They should let a malian muslim do it not an american kaffir

Yeah because Mali which is one of the poorest countries with an almost non-existent film industry has the same budget as the film capital of the world...

How about we let actual West Africans have an opinion on whether a Mansa Musa story should be made or not and not a Somali.

PS: A good significant of AAs are descendants of Mandinkas. :wink:

In the Silver Lining
They doing the wrong movie. They should do Sundiata. There's very little conflict in a Mansa Musa story.

I agree those leaders and other kingdoms deserve their Red Carpet treatment too......and I see what you saying.. but we need that scene when his caravan rolls up in Cairo with so much gold that there is ridiculous inflation for a couple years. We need that level of historical stuntin.....:wow:.

Good or bad, sometimes when making black historical biopics you need superlatives:

"The richest man on earth"
"The biggest slave rebellion"
"The first black female millionaire"
"The first person to have 400 patents out of peanuts"
Etc
