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 get their podcast remake.
Barbara and Amaka weave in their personal experience, current affairs and social context to reimagine motives and devise alternative plots.
Hollywood Africans
No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency
If legendary detective Miss Marple was set in Africa….she’d turn out something like Precious Ramotswe in beautiful and tranquil Botswana.
Despite being underestimated Precious and her band of friends and colleagues solve crimes… one cup of Red bush tea at a time.
But is this lady sleuth a bigot?
Welcome to Hollywood Africans, the podcast which reframes, recasts and remakes Africa and Africans in the movies.
