Netflix made a high budget film about us that enforces negative stereotypes about somalis.

[Garaad diinle]

Get a load of this a new netflix series about us that depicts all kinds of negative stereotypes about somalis and islam. Reminds me of how hollywood back in the day had a filed day making film about arabs and brown people as villains or fanatics. We use to be called pirates but that's old news now, get ready for a new wave of nicknames and new memes.

 

[mahamdov]

This is the stereotype of Somalis and we must change it

 

[OhMan]

Netflix didnt make anything?
The films been out since last year and the creators are somali

Directors words

What did you hope to achieve in handling the portrayal of terrorism and radicalization?

“Ayaanle is story about a young Somali actor who has always been cast as a terrorist or a pirate, so he’s struggling to find a balance to get different roles other than the ones he is always portrayed in. He’s also not making enough money as an actor. I wanted the film to talk about what international media gets wrong about terrorism, to ask the question of how much is true in their depictions.

For me, it’s also about drawing attention to the desperate actors who are tell fake stories as terrorists and pirates in movies. I focused on the theme of terrorism because it affects the youth in Somalia. Let’s say you have been arrested for something and the first thing the police does is label you as a terrorist. It also addresses police corruption and complicity. When you go for casting or auditions, the roles about terrorism are reserved for Somalis, we aren’t portrayed as doctors or business persons. Ayaanle is targeting how Somalis are typecast as terrorists.

Okay the movie has a good backstory however are their any clipble moments that racist would use to insult somalis.

i guarantee their is at least 1 doqon going through it frame by frame to get that perfect scene to insult somalis.

 

[Qeelbax]

Bad plot, never a good plot making us look normal

always the foolxumo faraxs

Turns out the movie was made by a somali, oh allah help us all. The overall quality of the film is top notch but the story is bad. It portray somalis as fanatics or villains. If i were an anjnab this would be treasure trove for insults and memes. It would've been better if they made a movie about a wall street like somali banker in eastleigh or something along these lines.

 

[Chaseyourdreamzz]

Until we take control and create our own media platforms and produce our own films this will always happen

Yeah this move, arday and captain Phillips constantly the narrative is either pirates or crime.

There needs to be a film that motivates the young Somali audience who watches it and want to rebuild the nation.

 

[Kalsoon]

Couldn’t even finish the trailer. Why watch this voluntarily as a Somali? I, for one won’t be supporting this in any way.

 

[Bundasliga]

The same guy who made arday made ayaanle.

 

[Cartan Boos]

The same guy who made arday made ayaanle.

I told u gaalo were behind this

[DubatDiaries]

This is what happens when you internalize how others perceive you.

 

[Basra]

This is what happens when you internalize how others perceive you.

And this is what happens when u bring Somalis to America or Uk. They assimilate to deformity

 

[Yaraye]

We need people in this field who'll made movies about cadaans shooting and bombing crowded places. Most importantly the main character/hero/savior cannot be cadaan

I am a former special ops soldier, i have countless years of experience in tracking and capturing dangerous individuals. My ability to move quietly and undetected through dense forests and rugged terrain is unbelievable,

I believe if somalispot funds my operations i could bring down AS within a year

Somalis deserve every bad thing coming our way, good, the more we suffer the quicker the people will snap, then things might finally change for the better.
