SIGN THIS PETITION: 1° Netflix says they have no interest in PALOP content but now they use Njinga Mbande?

 

Netflix said that for now it has no interest in PALOP African content, we showed the film and the series Njinga Queen of Angola produced by Semba comunication in 2013 on behalf of Angola and they told us that they were not interested in our work, now they are making a documentary that tells The Story of Queen Njinga Mbande, without Angola having any benefit from it, it is not being filmed in Angola, nor is there technical team and Angolan actors.

We find this repugnant and skews the cultural usurpation for their own benefit, where they tell our story from their point of view and often distorting the real facts using their narrative about us, we cannot continue to tolerate it, we demand answers and reparation for the error, if they are going to tell our story, then we must be an integral part of the process and respected at all levels.

Enough of using our cultural identity for third-party elevation while we seem without content production for lack of international acceptance.

By Sílvio Nascimento, Angolan actor and producer.
