I am f***in tired of American taking one-sided stories of Africa, where it's all the negative stuff; death, poverty, corruption, AIDS.....the list goes on and on. Can't they make a movie about the good stuff in Africa?

Saw the flick the actor who played mandela,failed dismally on the voice and the accent part.

the actor is Denzel once again.. from Biko to Mandela. accent very wack. Americans playing Africans is unjustifiable period.
