Why did go through this script all together?

[SahanGalbeed]

Yeah , you actually have to know how to act , not just look somali .

[Righteous]

K'naan the hutu is exploiting Somalis. Typical

[jamal9]

they should rename it to "Hutus in Minneapolis, Mogadishu"

Mash Allah first Somali Hollywood director waa wax lagu farxo

[cheifaqilbari]

It would not surprise Me if that guy makes a film based on lies and sterotapes,humiliate and stigmata es the local community . I hope Im proven wrong but knowing America its obsession with colour , they always show black people as dangerous on tv specially black men.

[Ololhilaac]

Soomaali meel loo raco malaha.
I thought they were against this guy for even making the show, but now people are complaining about why he's not using Somalis.

[Twist]

Of the main 9 characters (which the article described as the full cast members), 3 are Somalis. What did you expect, the whole or most of the cast members to be Somalis? This is an HBO show that will be watched by the entire world in one way or another, so the creators need to cast real actors in order to sell it, not just a bunch of Faaraxs and Xaliimos. A third of the main characters is more than enough.

Excellent point. Marketing unknown actors is hard. Captain Philips was a success of Tom Hanks not Bucktooth Barkhad.

Is the FGM market over saturated? Be more original and think outside the box.

[FAH1223]

So a 1/3 of the main cast is Somali. Cool.

What's good for the goose is good for the business, the young people he was attempting to give opportunities too weren't receptive what do yll expect! Can't wait till this airs tho.
