Don't worry the critics will hate it and it will flop in the theaters....But when you actually watch it you will think it's a good movie.

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

Believe it or not that cartoon "Lion King" is based on the life of Sundiata.

Very few people know this.

They should let a malian muslim do it not an american kaffir

Those American "kaffirs" are descended from those Malian Muslims. Those Kaffirs were forced to convert from Islam to Christianity. So those Americans are genetic cousins of those Malians.

Your question should be how did so many Malinke/Mandinka/Mandingo people end up in the slave trade in the Caribbean and in the North, South and Central America?

On one hand, it is cool to see Black history dramatized but on the other hand its sad that Black people are so helpless that we place such importance over entertainment which White companies profit the most of it anyways.

Never in history did any group of people become victorious after "being woke." I will support this film but yall elevate things well above their actual impact.

I think you underestimate the power of persuasion in the media

No movie on The Moors though? That's what I really want to see, because that's a movie that will really make cacs mad.
