You guys are crying over nothing. Somalia had THREE decades to fix up, you should stop blaming Hollywood or the rest of world making films about us we are a failure.

Southerners are failures they can't establish peace. The rest of us are ok.

So it’s come to my attention that Korea decided to make a movie about the Somali civil war and the “escaping” of the people. Mind you the entire movie is being filmed in Morocco and so far there isn’t any Somali cast. What is y’all opinion on this ?

Where’s the energy for black hawk down? No there were no Somali cast, and they filmed in Morocco.

It was in 2001 and somalis didn't knew how to use the internet at the time

Knowing these koreans they will paint their faces black to play as somalis kkk

So they would look like me (black version of a Mongoloid)

True. But it was a good film.

Nah they will hire black/Somali actors to play Somalis. It’s not their first film production in Morroco there’s a K drama called Vagabond which was filmed in Morrocco and they had real Berber Arabs playing the local characters and were speaking their dialect too.

Lets take a poll of who the honour of playing Somalis will go to.
A. Ghanians
B. Nigerians
C. Black Moroccans
D. African Americans

[Sky Geeljire]

Should we start a mass petition to stop this BS?

walahi.

How come we are ok with allowing this level of tarnishment of our culture/name? We are massive on Social media. We can get this STOPPED.

FIGHTING

I don't really care tbh as long as they don't cast Babatunde to play as a USC fighter.

These foreigners really irritate me. Authentically cast Somali extras or supporting cast or call it something else. I could easily call it Kinshasa (the Capital of Congo) and no one would notice the difference beyond it being filmed in Morocco. I hope the vocal online Somalis let their voices be heard.
