I've Been Telling People That Somalis Would Do Great Dramas Look How Dramatic Our People Are Hopefully The Movie Succeeds

The aesthetic ambience is disgusting, but it has a heart in it. The afar hairdo, is not appealing to my superficial western taste, but i can imagine, and put myself in the environment, for just an afternoon.

 

[4head]

are they dijoubtians

yes, the dialect and the scenery look like Djibouti













Looks promising,
I'd watch it.

 

[Queen Ati]

Yasmin Warsame is co-starring.

 

[codewebsduh]

No , but it is set in Djibout as @4head said. They are Diaspora(finnish and canadian)

Good to see Somalis producing their own content, rather than waiting around for Hollywood to shit on us by casting.....you know who

 

[Macalin dheerow]

Directed & made by reer Finland ( writer, director and the male lead are reer finland) saw an article in finnish paper couple weeks ago where they interviewed the guy who wrote and is directing the film.

That chanting at 0:51 isn't somali... we have an abundance of Somali songs to choose and they pick some xabashi sounding desert dweller war chant from black hawk down

 

[Dontcomefome]

wtf why couldn't they play Somali music instead of west african?
