@FSMDOA Great Thread

Why is everyone giving us a wrong image. they also used Nigerians for black Hawk down.

Because they assume all sub Saharan Africans look the same.

Somalia is technically a Sub-Saharan African country so film directors assume that Somali characters in film can be portrayed by other Africans, like a Ugandan playing a Nigerian. Plus, there aren't a lot Somali actors to begin with.

Because they assume all sub Saharan Africans look the same.

Basically this.

Here's a film with an actual Somali cast. It was directed by Musa Syeed, a man of Kashmiri (Indian) descent

It got a great review in the New York Times

[Xooshdheere]

I've seen this film on BBC I think, it was quite good and the actors seemed to speak fluent Somali, not so sure if they are actual Somalis though?
@Khad714 you might enjoy this if u havent seen it already?

@Steamdevolopment, how embarrassing was this film when your Danish colleagues brought it up:siilaanyolaugh:

Somalia's coast has the least pirate attacks, why are the Hollywood yahuud still making movies about Somalia and damaging our reputation further blame that fat gaas for allowing it

What's funny is that countries spanning from Nigeria to the Philippines have more piracy than Somalia these days, and a considerable amount of Somalia's piracy is simply fishermen protecting their waters.

The problem was that Mr. Abduwali Muse decided to hold an important sea captain hostage. The U.S. Navy had to get involved in the first successful pirate seizure of a ship registered under the American flag since the early 19th century. Needless to say it's a pretty big deal, unfortunately it just so happened to involve Somalis
