maryharper-32004's rating
Ayaanle is a first-rate, can't close your eyes for a second movie. Unlike other movies featuring Somalis (Black Hawk Down, Captain Phillips, etc), it tells a real, fair and honest story of the lives of Somalis beyond the stereotypes of 'terrorist', 'pirate', 'starving person' or 'gang member'. It is subversive in a cool and clever way. The story is so compelling it grips you no matter who you are or where you come from. It shows how ethnic Somalis are abused in Kenya even though they are citizens of that country and its sixth-largest community. Corruption, double-crossing, unexpected twists, humanity, joy, tragedy and reality - they are all there.
