What event(s) would you like to see future HBO miniseries be based on?

[Ohene]

Something written, directed, and starring black people

the Lords resistance army?
on second thought maybe a general series about militias / guerilla groups in Africa and Asia. ISIS and all that

some of yall are thinking too small...things that would be a miniseries at best. 9/11 is a good one. i'd personally want to see a series about gangbanging in California. Could go a lot of different directions with that the same way the wire did

its also a shame yall didnt give Vinyl any play. had potential

i would say vietnam. lotta people would get they hoe card pulled if they did if they produced a real documentary/tv show that showed how that war really took place. Vietnam was a trusted ally during ww2 how did that relationship go wrong?

Tokaimura nuclear accident

I'd say Vietnam... Just because after all these years it's still a touchy topic and I'm still not sure who at fault or the motivation behind going...

After that, maybe something about the post 9/11 hunting down of Saddam Hussein... The fact that he had no link to the terror attack and we never proved that he had no WMD but instead of focusing on the terrorists we just decided to focus in on him. This part of that whole narrative is the main part that lends credence to 9/11 bring an inside job to me. Bush made sure he got Saddam, and didn't really seem to be tripping over Osama too much

Vietnam has been done way too much. There's always a story to tell but its been done so much.

9/11 would be good maybe if they did a focus on training for the attacks and how the government was reacting during the attacks.

Thats true actually. Just both Vietnam and WW2 in general have been done to death no pun. Doesn't mean it couldn't be excellent tho.

I did. Looked like it was pickin' up steam towards the end. I would've watched a 2nd season. The first season wasn't all that entertaining tho. Showtime needs to bring back Guerrilla.
