We are working with some people all over the world for subtitling and dubbing. We will not dub massively, we prefer people discover contents in their original format, with subtitles in their languages. we will dub in certain cases, though,

Exactly there is a lot of culture from Africa, and not a unique African Culture. or subcultures. I don't know what subculture is :) That's the point of Afrostream, to have a great place to celebrate African Diaspora descendants an

Yes we are ! We knew better the sub-saharan countries for instance, so our network and focus is to go there first. We have a lot of work to have the best catalog from there first, and then we could extend.

To have a black James Bond, we need to have a better representation of what is black. Blaxploitation (yet I would love to have this movie in Afrostream) was positive in a sens that it gives positive heroes who are black and it's very i

You give me an idea with iranian movies ;) you don't understand my point here : We do not do a service for specific people, we do a service with specific contents. I will try with another argument : Tyler Perry is one the most prominen

Drama Fever is the Netflix for Asian Contents primarly, 80% of the users are non Asian. We are convinced it's possible to other segments, and that's why we will open the door for all of you on Afrostream

We know very well Jason, the founder of Irokotv, we had some discussions with him just a few days ago. Irokotv is very centered on movies from Nollywood, and has started to have some movies from Hollywood. We have another point of view : W

You are right. And just in case, the full name of Tonjé is Tonjé Bakang Tonje, so he doesn't mean to have a CAP problem (And I know his computer is aging not well :) but I think it was just to be clear with his full name. Call him Tonj

I love Morgan Freeman by the way. A man who played a president of the USA, and God multiple times, is exactly what you need to show everywhere, not only on Afrostream Is it positive discrimination ? Since there is a political implication th

Thank you for your great feedback, Seems Netflix is a big concern for a lot of people here. Since I am a subscriber to Netflix too, I think my first action is to unsubscribe soon to help us. Just kidding. Netflix has some flaws too. And we

Great feedback :) languages and dialects are a part of our strategy. We have other ways to protect yourself from Netflix, though, but we can't reveal all our moves at once :)

As i said, I hate the world Niche, and I never use it only to say I hated this word, African descent movies are so diverse. We have an African Diaspora all over the world which produce a ton of contents you never saw, you don't even kn

I understood your point of view. Netflix is better than us now, that's a fact. I personally don't think Netflix could be exhaustive in every way because the curation work is very important here, to satisfy every segment in the wor

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

Do you know what means the word "Niche" in France : it's a house for dogs, literally, http://www.jardiland.com/mes-animaux/12431-chiens/12432-habi... We, Afrostream, have a bigger house to fill ;)

In part we have acquired rights for a group of countries in Africa, so there will be a blocking by IP. Other part is yes, some regions are under-equipped, and we will be there with some Internet providers which are deploying their networks
