Exactly. Misplaced outrage and so called pride. How about we give film makers positive things to show instead of waffling about representation when we present the world with dagaal and rafaad. I’ve had enough of peoples fake nationalism. It’s pure cope. I’ve spent years lying to myself. I’m done .
Netflix made a high budget film about us that enforces negative stereotypes about somalis.

Maybe it's time to accept that many ajnabis don't see the difference? There have been times even I don't.
Both these films and al shabaab are sponsored by the same people and they are a source of a large part of the problem.
The people sponsoring this film and the show Arday are not using these tropes because Somalis have more issues then others but they are trying to demonize Islamic norms and push liberal ideas.
Their problem is Islam and that will never change, there is no future utopia in which gaalo will start making positive stories about Somalis. There are Muslim countries that do not have war and they only ever use the same themes.
It's not the people fault, it is an ideological attack. So yes, the people should voice their concerns and make it be known. The same way Somalis turned the propaganda about pirates into a story about illegal fishing, dumping and fishermen.
Yes, both the show Arday and this movie is "produced" by the same person, Ahmed Farah.
It seems he has been commissioned to try to push liberalism through media on the Somali people.
They put this one right onto Netflix. Expect more stories about backward Muslims and corrupt religious leaders with liberal solutions. Ever since the SOB failed it seems the west is going the way of social engineering via media.
If you check out Ahmed Farah Imdb page he only has three projects on there.
This movie, Ayaanle (2022), Arday (2023), and one obscure project called Somalia Justice from back in 2013. It was released in the UK. The production team was... Channel 4 News, UK state media.
The same UK state media that has been releasing terror, drug, rape and sexual violence propaganda hit pieces on Somalia lately.
For his latest project it has switched to Riyo Films under his name.

It was made in kenya and most of the somali actors lived in kenya. The director did an interview and said he couldn't get somali actors cause they were unruly and unwilling to participate so he chose kenyans and somali looking coastal swahlis instead.Why do they have j4reer English accent?
