Sobering...why? The movie appeared to be honest but I did not approach it critically.

The movie has them as the protagonists and presents a lie that people in that Kingdom wanted to end slavery when in reality even after cacs took over and made it illegal they still wanted to continue selling slaves. How is that honest? That's propaganda.

They're banking on black people being completely ignorant and trying to get Black Panther money. Money from the descendants of the people the Dahomey captured and sold to Europeans.

Then when Black people don't support this trash they'll say "black people don't want to support black female led movies" when all they had to do was make The Dahomey the antagonists and the protagonists some other tribe of women they're trying to enslave who fought back.

Got it. The sad thing is, most of us don't know. I had no idea. Sadly.
