@g_baks Thank you for this! A legacy was reshaped as it rightfully should have been. Mama was such a key player, and we wanted to show the different aspects of her so people understood the different sides.
@g_baks@YoursBrown We had to make it balanced and unbiased. Showing different sides so the viewers could make up their minds. Glad you got the nuances. Thanks for watching!
@BummiNAnderson@NetflixSA@netflix We had to launch on Netflix in Africa, as the continent was important to Mama Winnie. This is a global story though, so keep an eye out for the rest of the world airing soon
@kgotsohopelekau Thank you or sharing this powerful post. You are right, its so important to preserve history. This, along with the African Oral History Archive will be available for generations to come, and engage with.
