great question I asked myself every day This is how I dealt with this question : The racism question is at heart of the building of Afrostream. You need some contexts here. As I say (a lot) : We are French. French Television and movies are basically, how could I say that in a politically correct way, : white. (disclaimer : my father is a black man with indian origin, from the Island of the Reunion, in the Indian Ocean, my mother is white from Brittany in France, I was born in Brittany) We have not a lot of black heroes in our French movies. Correction : we have zero (except Omar Sy). We don't deal well with race in France, in a sense that we can't say we have an established racism, but a lot of small discriminations. Tonjé and I are media guys. Tonjé wrote scenario, produce shows, directed a theater. The problem we see is that we don't have positive heroes. Basically : why could we not have a black James Bond ? Our answer is Afrostream : to represent African descents in a positive way, in all their diversities (because, yes, black culture does not exist). South African movies are definitely in our radar. I loved "Zulu" movie (I am sort of movie geek too), We will look at Egyptian movies too, because, why not. We intend to have all of the diversities of the culture from African descents. African American movies are popular and will be on Afrostream. Nollywood, the movies from Nigeria, will be there too. We did and will do a big work of curation to unite the best of the African Diaspora. Because our goals are not just to show some movies on your smartphone, but to make learn about some culturees which are sometimes just ignored today. We just started with what we know more : West indies diaspora, West African Diaspora (Tonjé has some origins from Cameroon), African American movies (because, hey, who doesn't watch a good american movie in the world. that's our pop culture everywhere)
