Hollywood Africans

Hosted by award-winning journalist Barbara Angopa and filmmaker Amaka Ugwunkwo, Hollywood Africans reframes the lives of misunderstood characters in the movies.

Silenced, underestimated, objectified, infantilised and vilified Africans on film are just some of the screen representations getting a podcast remake.


Barbara and Amaka weave in their personal experience, current affairs and social context to reimagine motives and devise alternative plots.
