I got my own Somali heroes, but it's hilarious to see the reaction of when there is historical misrepresentation as a black Achilles or some non sense like that. The ones that are satisfied with that shit are retarded and the ones that make it are simply profiting off of those people lack of self awareness.
Personally I'd love to see a movie or series on the likes of Toussaint L'Ouverture and Jean Jacque Dessaline, or Thomas Alexandre Dumas. Those guys led extremely interesting lives and have performed incredible feats. I'd love to see something about Muhammed Abdallah Hassan, legendary Somali leader, that the Brits called the Mad Mullah. Cheap knockoffs like Black Achilles don't interest me, but I do love seeing @<a href="http://www.juventuz.com/member.php?u=7208" target="_blank">Kyle</a>'s reactions to it

C'est des foutaises.
For real, larger than life historical figures like Thomas Alexandre Dumas and Muhammed Abdallah Hassan is what I wanna see. Alexandre Dumas was inspired by his fathers deeds when he wrote books like Count of Monte Cristo, Man with an iron mask, 3 muskateers. And Muhammed Abdallah Hassan was a top military mastermind who fought 3 wars at the simultaneously against 3 superior forces (England, Italy, Ethiopia) with a relatively small force, not to mention he was one of Somalia's greatest poets. These guys would be AMAZING subjects for movies/series.

Not enough projects done about liberators like of Julius Kambarage Nyerere, Patrice Lumumba or Kwame Nkrumah. Not exactly tradtional liberator, but Thomas Sankara would made for a cool film, iconic guy.
Or historical fiction about Mansa Musa, Queen Nzinga or Shaka Zulu.
Or wait, there was a tv series about Shaka, it was my absolute fav as a kid
Me myself I want to see a comedy done about Haile Selassie, comedy because it would be about the visit he made to Jamaica, that shit was so surreal

He'd be a great figure to make a series around. Especially considering the mystery of the foreign involvement in his eventual execution.
Those Real Detective documentaries i stumbled over out of boredom on Netflix are pretty good. Way better than all the other true crime shows around. Actors are really good from what i've seen so far.
Edit: Way way better than your average true crime shows. Finally a show with good color grading. Adds so much to the atmosphere.

Its a bit slow paced and characters at the start are a bit shallow, but the mindfuck starts at the end of the 5th episode (there are hints throughout the episode). It's worth being patient, and it's a wild ride. Dialogues could be better, but the premise of the series is pretty good and I enjoyed the show in general more than the second season of Stranger Things.
The series poke interesting concepts in Physics (tweaking those and inventing some stuff), so that's cool.
