Reinas de África: Njinga

Yeah, the fact is stay away this need to be a child's book or so. She or Jada Smith is way too delusional. She thinks that her view of the truth is. That's what Grandma tells her. I am done with this woke nonsense. I cancel Netflix and go to another platform. End of that.

Yes, you get everything you want from this Document. The truth is the answer you are looking for. And many more. Sure you now know that sarcasm is a real thing.

This is what i have to say and iam shame that iam living in those times here to defend my own race. Shame.

The narrator should be African, to tell our stories from the correct perspective.

African names must be pronounced in our language and intonation because they carry deep meanings.

Smacks of a colonial perspective when everyone, apart from the actors is non-African.

Expected better from Netflix.

Netflix, Africa must tell her own stories. That is a deal breaker. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the foreign telling of our history.

Glad you have begun to share our stories pre and post slavery and the fact that's we fought for our freedom and independence for over 400 years.

Some of us are still fighting today.

It is indeed an interesting story to check it out, i love history and old times stories.. to tell you the truth i was waiting for this show to be released on netflix , then i started watching and i got lost quickly in the low budget acting and scenes ... they brought actors from england with english accent to represent african history... not one actor convinced me with his role or personality..... this show could be a great one on netflix if they worked hard but it was a flop ... you meet the Africans speaking UK accent ... then the Portuguese and the dutch have same accent ... oh i couldn't handle that anymore .

Ok Netflix wanted to use a real historical figure and make a movie/docu about that person , that would of course attract lots of viewers in order to do so they have to make here look like a GOOD guy (woman) somewhat superhuman like .And they did a great job with that , a lot of people specially a certain group of viewers will find this to be just what they were looking for ;)

It is touching moving and powerful and it has a EMPOWERMEND kind of feeling to it , the people doing the story telling are enthusiastic and really love to be in this documentary and it shows by the way they are telling the story.

The movie parts are also not bad . I don't know if all Africans have that typical accent when they speak English , but for some reason i have a feeling that's not the case i real life

Now the negative things i have to say about this documentary is that . If your someone who read books about Queen Njinga and watched more documentary about here you just know they portraited here in to much like a GOOD (guy) in this one

she was brutal fierce powerful smart but also CRUELL and they just left that part out , she also wasn't afraid to be the bad person in order to achieve something ,

She was also the LARGEST HUB for SLAVE TRADE with the DUTCH and Portuguese , she sold other kingdoms in slavery in that way she saved here own and became a wealthy QUEEN

So long story short

yes powerful documentary but not ACCURATE enough for me but still a decent watch ,and who knows maybe they will make a season 2 and show more of here other side.

As native Angolan, I have to criticize this western revisionist "documentary".

1- The actors aren't native, the languages also aren't. They hired a British-Nigerian... it's not even a native Nigerian. And even if it was, Nigerians and Angolans aren't the same just because we share higher amounts of melanin. We have different cultures, languages, and even physical traits. Our histories also diverge.

( nothing against Yorubas and Igbo people, much respect for their history and cultures, but I believe they wouldn't like someone from a different culture to portray their own history on TV ).

2- Many names and important Kingdoms were ignored to promote an inaccurate story, as well for many historical facts omitted for western narratives... again.

Angolan stories should be about Angolan truths and reality from that period, not western revisionism and ignorance.

It's just disrespectful and insulting.

It might be a good initiative to focus more on African stories, but at least, the very least, is to do a good job, specially when we are talking about national heroes, nationality and culture, you have the obligation to do it right and the most respectful way possible.

It doesn't matter who is behind all of this, the fame and money they have in America, you should just respect our cultures and stories.

Maybe it's time for western people to stop putting Africans in generic skin color boxes... our realities are different; first we see ethnic groups, languages and nationality, and only after we look at skin colour and only if necessary.
