NGL the quality is nice and everything. This is good for a country that had no cinema for 30 years and no strong central government. Somalia is coming look out.

To those of you who will say that this is degenerate and that we shouldn't care about cinema, understand that if your population is not watching their people on TV, they will look up to other populations. Why do you think we bleach to look like Hindi. You either have our population worship India or Turkey like the Arab world does. Hell even South Korea makes bank off of their K dramas. We need soft power to survive this world.

Although i find the content material dull and un-engaging, one cant help but be impressed by him, and the production teams marketing strategy being as successful as this, mainly through the use of tiktok. which isnt even odd to the specific company at all.
The only merit i see in this, at the moment, is that an entirely somali cast, creating something this massive for an exclusivley somali audience could possibly turn out into more Somali media being circulated. Im not advocating that we review bomb it, but that we give it a chance.

Representation is important. Who knows maybe Somali cinema will be quite popular throught Africa

We as somalis are great storytellers. This shit is in our blood and it baffles that more of us Somalis in the west dont use our talents to create dope shit By Us For Us.
