why isnt there more films and tv series on African Culture, history and gods?

Hollywood love trying to rewrite history and culture with forced diversity in films and series based on historical history but they dont seem to make actual shows with POC culture, history, gods and so on.

I honestly think more of that stuff would be great to watch and learn from instead of disrespecting others culture and history.

Same with race and gender swapping established characters in entertainment. Why not make new exciting characters instead of doing that?
Clearly its all money related. They pick what sells really well and throws in a sprinkle of forced diversity to create headlines and attention to make more money. Netflix and so on dont really care about diversity, LGBTQ and so on. They care about money and the moment it stops being profitable for them, You wait and see them drop all of it in a heartbeat.
Those companies are not your friends, they just want your money

This is particularly a problem when they make a show “based on true events” and it’s almost complete fiction but an audience oblivious to the history will go away thinking it’s facts because of the disclaimer.

It’s based on, it’s not what happened. I’m sure that disclaim is dropped in just to add grit.

@WintaTheAngle exactly. I dont think this subject gets talked about enough and so many just seem to accept it. Maybe I am just a huge History buff and biased but I dont get why people dont care

@Torsten You’d think a society constantly posting about the truth vs “fake news” would want to know what the history actually is.

It’s especially wrong and potentially harmful when it’s recent history and the people being portrayed have to live through the damage of mis portrayals .
