To have a black James Bond, we need to have a better representation of what is black.

Blaxploitation (yet I would love to have this movie in Afrostream) was positive in a sens that it gives positive heroes who are black and it's very important to me that Black people think they could be what they want to be.

By the way, I dreamed to be Shaft when I was younger.

But let's face it, We don't have a lot of movies like that anymore, or they are not internationally distributed.

That's the question we want to solve with Afrostream.

And, again, African Culture does not exist.

Of course African culture exists, it's the culture of the African continent and its diaspora, which is widespread, rich, and diverse. What does the "Afro" in "Afrostream" stand for if it isn't African culture? And of course there are subcultures. It's the same situation with (East) Asian culture.

Exactly there is a lot of culture from Africa, and not a unique African Culture. or subcultures. I don't know what subculture is :)

That's the point of Afrostream, to have a great place to celebrate African Diaspora descendants and all of these different points of view.

I think it would help to say that African culture is not homogenous, rather than say it doesn't exist.

Out of curiosity, are you going to include Egyptian films?

[lbostral]

That is not, for sure, a territory we have yet explored, (becasue there is a LOT of contents to explore in other countries first, and we have more a West Africa background), but yes we will look for Egyptian movies in the future.

Yeah I love Will Smith too, even in Hancock :)

Let's face it : Will Smith played in a lot of top movies in this decade. Could you name another one ? :)

In France we have a Will Smith example too, His name is Omar Sy (saw in the last Jurassic World).

For one Will Smith, you have here in USA Tyler Perry, Kevin Hart, Chris Tucker, Chris Rock, Spike Lee (sorry for all the women I forgot here). These guys are awesome too. We want them everywhere in the world.
