Ok Netflix wanted to use a real historical figure and make a movie/docu about that person , that would of course attract lots of viewers in order to do so they have to make here look like a GOOD guy (woman) somewhat superhuman like .And they did a great job with that , a lot of people specially a certain group of viewers will find this to be just what they were looking for ;)
It is touching moving and powerful and it has a EMPOWERMEND kind of feeling to it , the people doing the story telling are enthusiastic and really love to be in this documentary and it shows by the way they are telling the story.
The movie parts are also not bad . I don't know if all Africans have that typical accent when they speak English , but for some reason i have a feeling that's not the case i real life
Now the negative things i have to say about this documentary is that . If your someone who read books about Queen Njinga and watched more documentary about here you just know they portraited here in to much like a GOOD (guy) in this one
she was brutal fierce powerful smart but also CRUELL and they just left that part out , she also wasn't afraid to be the bad person in order to achieve something ,
She was also the LARGEST HUB for SLAVE TRADE with the DUTCH and Portuguese , she sold other kingdoms in slavery in that way she saved here own and became a wealthy QUEEN
So long story short
yes powerful documentary but not ACCURATE enough for me but still a decent watch ,and who knows maybe they will make a season 2 and show more of here other side.
