    Njinga also gained notoriety during this period for her involvement in the slave trade. As a result of the conflicts during her reign, Njinga's forces took hundreds of thousands of captives, allowing the queen to sell nearly 200,000 slaves to the Portuguese.

Njinga het self slawe besit, sy was beide 'n slawe handelaar sowel as die eienaar van slawe. Alle ryk mense en magtige mense in daardie tyd het slawe besit.

    K well after Woman King, I did research before seeing the production - "In November 1627, Nzingha again attempted to negotiate with the Portuguese, sending a peace delegation and a gift of 400 slaves."

    This is just a trailer but I can't shake off the feeling that these shows make African kingdoms look more less sophisticated than they are supposed to be. Ndongo sent diplomatic missions across Western Europe. However, the palace and meeting of the king as seen in the trailer looks like something that would have occurred in the Zulu kingdom rather than Ndongo. The Woman King did something similar to Dahomey where Abomey lacked a ditch, and walls of the palace had no bridges, towers and the cannons that were mounted on them.
    Either way, I hope the documentary touches on Ndongo's martial arts of Sanguar and how Ndongo soldiers were so agile they could dodge arrows. I hope it also touches of Ndongo's musketeers and their ability to build fortifications.

      Queen Njinga is a real historical figure. Evidently there is a lot of African history that still shocks people because of the lies the Europeans told to downplay who we were.

    Ok, so this is an interesting one. It is important to note that real human beings are never entirely good or bad but exist within a spectrum. This show does well to paint Nzinga in a good light. It is true that she was a great leader and an inspiration to many African women. It is also true that she took part in the slave trade and sold some Africans to the Dutch. I would argue that it was a necessity in the time for her kingdom to survive and even thrive, but those are still human beings being sold. My point is if you want to look at her as a role model because of Netflix's account on this story then you are right. But, if you want to look at Netflix's account as inaccurate and not portraying the entire story, then you are also right.

    Quick question; has anyone of these people who make these supposed documentaries ever even been to Angola to see the statue of Nnzinga and see how she looked like or how she dressed at least? Because that ain't it...
    Have they read that usually the armies avoided the villages like the plague because of tropical diseases and the few that actually did try to raid the villages were repelled because they lacked provisions, stamina and they were in unknown terrain?
    Have they researched that Nnzinga had slaves of her own and established a strong slave trade with all nations around her. She fought the Portuguese so they wouldn't disrupt her politics and business with enemy nations around her?
    Have they written how the Portuguese were impressed that she entered the conference sitting upon a slave girl instead of a chair and then she ellegedly left her behind because "she had used that"?
    If not then this is simply a historical drama, no different than the Tudors or Borgias. Good for spectacle but not exactly documentary material... For starters there WERE slaves in her kingdom. The Dutch had more than satisfactory exchange of goods with her, slaves included.
    She was a formidable opponent and a very inspired leader. I wonder why they feel the need to paint her as the saint who fought for the good of her people only. Why are we so afraid to show those sides of the leaders of the past when it comes to stories like that.

    This video has more dislikes than likes becuase of a multitde of reasons. I am african so i will like it but people do not like to feel like they are being used or decived and if you expect anyone to believe that it was only the women who fought slaver trafikers in that time then your are deciveing yoruselves. Let me tell you this MAJORITY of the slaves that were taken from Africa were sold by Africans.
    I come From Nigeria and when i was young before i even knew the im0lications of slavery my father used to tell me how his grandfather would and could sell slaves to the oyinbo (white people) when they needed money. it was a lot harder for slaver trafikers to stell whole tribes as 90% of the time they would get surrounded and they would fight back against them. but eventtually they decied to trade with the natives for slaves . so the natives would take unwanted people and sell them. I should point out that most of Nigeria was heavily divied and their were thousands of small tribes that could very easily be dominated at first (1500-1700)
    My great great grandfather 100% sold slaves and so did a lot of other people during his time in Nigeria and Africa
    Now im mentioning this becuase the Tribe in this video and the woman king movie both did the same thing they fought well but also sold slaves. Do you know who fought even better for hundreds of years and Never sold slaves. The mossi Tribe. Here is a tribe that didnt even start fighting european slave traders they started fighting in the year 11th century up until the 18th century they fough muslims then christians then eueropeans all in the span of 700-800 years. Yet netflix doesnt think they are worth making a movie about as its not political enough

      @NoLabelBrighton yea the problem is african people dont see themselves or their ancestors as slaves so why would any african company make a movie about it

      Netflix doesn't Do movies. They by projects, documentaries, comedies,drama. So please do your movie on that Mossi tribe, submit it to Netflix and we'll be watching. And Nigeria didn't exist at the time you're talking.

      as for making a movie why would i do that, all the documenteries are made by people in hollywood and are based around poltical agenda for hollywood and america. do you think people in africa care about this documentary. No they do not

      @@d3po607 You are just contradicting yourself.And I didn't say tribes didn't exist. So if the country existed, then what was the name?? Was it a country or it was different kingdoms with they rulers, kings&queens,and different borders as today? And I'm astonished by your stong statement that"MAJORITY" of slaves were sold by Africans but don't question why the slave ships were there to begin with. Some humans decided to build those slave ships, structured them to carry as much other humans as possible to exploit, for centuries. None of those ships were built in Africa. Why don't you highly denounce those ship owners or they descendants? You could do a movie or documentary denouncing all they schemes but no, you prefer to scream "Hollywood, America have an agenda", like if we don't know it.That's old news. Question: Why don't you use "Nollywood" to make historical movies,documentaries, instead of always the same themes. Stop whinning about Hollywood; create and invest on an instructive Nollywood.
