African Queens: Njinga | Official Clip | Netflix
/ @netflix - Zábava
As remarkable of a woman as Queen Nzinga was, she did tragically contribute to the slavery of the African people, part of her own promise in the diplomatic treaty she established with the Portuguese, who naturally backtracked on their end of the deal. Haven’t seen anything of this series yet, but I’m hoping it will provide an accurate representation of the queen in both her triumphs and failures.
It was pretty accurate I’d say, she did the very best should could do as a ruler in the face of such a large scale of imperialism. She couldn’t fight the whole of Europe man, slavery was too big for just her one life.
@@joeycognition8824 It was not accurate at all. Her entire dinasty existed on the back of slavery and she continued it. She was never a prophetized hero, nor a savior of slaves. Multiple order of events are presented entirely wrong, placing Nzinga in parts of history she could have never have taken part of.
500 Africans vs 7 French men and the Africans lost lololol!
It's about time documentaries like this are made about African history/culture. Other than slavery I learned so much about African and African American history on my own. Like about Mansa Musa and Black Wallstreet.
For real, the slavery that blacks started then blamed it on white people. Awful history mx
Wow you really learned a lot, Mansa Musa and Black Wallstreet. You up there.
@@binahchokmah and why exactly are you trolling??
@@binahchokmah oh look an angry nobody, who will die as a nobody, and be forgotten as a nobody. Lol, that's your legacy as an insignificant dot in the universe.
@@binahchokmahLIKE about Mansa Musa and Black Wallstreet
Thank u so much Jada Smith and Netflix. I'm from Angola. Congratulations🙏🏻😍😭
Ya, podias também agradecer em Portugal e em outras línguas nacionais!
Is Nzinga, and this make me so sad because they should have worked with Angolan actors and actresses, they should at least ask for authorization or even do field research here. I really don't know if there was but we haven't been given any information and basically they are speaking English instead of our native language. Just because it's Jada Smith, because we already have a story on Nzinga and honestly it should be given credit.
Oh please!
Facts. Give some young African actors their screen time to shine.
Faço das suas palavras as minhas. Esperava o mesmo. Afinal de contas, o Reino do Dongo era de Ambundos e falavam Quimbundo. O mínimo era terem posto isso, junto com a dinâmica geopolítica e comercial do Reino do Dongo com os demais reinos vizinhos, sobretudo o Reino do Congo que era o maior e tinha muita influencia regional, que é a partir dele que os portugueses começaram a participar nas questões internas daquela região.
Mas infelizmente contrataram uma nigeriana-britanica ( nada contra os Nigerianos ), porque para os americanos e demais ocidentais, eles só sabem ver cores, e acham que tudo se limita a isso, que tudo é igual, mas a verdade é que em Africa os povos se identificam pelo nome e cultura, traços faciais e detalhes históricos e étnicos. Cada uma de nossas etnias têm suas historias próprias. Angola tem problemas, mas tem atores com talento, e se a Netflix consegue ir atrás de coisas banais, também conseguiria contratar uma nacional falante em Quimbundo se realmente respeitassem a cultura dos outros.
Mais triste ainda é ver pessoas não se importando com isso, angolanos desprezando cada vez mais detalhes que são a base da nossa historia. Qualquer migalha e produto mal feito pelo ocidente é o suficiente pra baterem palmas. Esse pseudo documentário da Netflix não me representa em nada, nem o nosso país, é puro revisionismo histórico pra agradar o ego de uma sociedade estrangeira que vive obcecada em ver pessoas pelas cores, e não culturas.
@Camilo Fonseca 🇦🇴 It is unfortunate to see in the face of global anti-blackness that some Africans are still fighting to be tribal rather than forging a united front.
@@megasg75090 The only unfortunate thing I see is that some sub-saharan Africans or African descendants ignore or despise their own roots and cultures, emulating a western and twisted foreign reality. Unity isn't based on skin color but on friendship, good policies and common goals.
And being united doesn't mean erasing or misrepresenting a culture over another, or reducing national cultures to a single box of color like Americans and some Europeans do. Even Europeans know not all white are the same. And there is nothing tribal in this, only reality; at least, the logical reality of Africans, not the Western mindset wich is: Color A vs Color B.
This is why Americans will be Americans and few of them will understand our reality, no mather the skin tone or facial traits they have... the reality of American society is different. At least in Africa, there are still people who proudly value their roots and nationality, and still have mutual respect with other peoples in the continent.

Great work
Assistir ontem, muito bom filme.
Oooo this looks so cool. Can’t wait. Always down for more history and learning about subjects I never knew about
If this is an American production you already know what's up.
And what's that exactly?
@@admirekashiri6651 - Historical revisionism like the Woman King which received a ton of backlash from black historians & critics because the Dahomey slaving culture was glorified instead of reviled as they were responsible for massacring & enslaving other Africans & selling them in the slave trade.
@@MKassa the film received backlash because people assumed the film was depicting the Dahomey as the good guys defending Africa from the French this wasn't the case the story focuses on the Dahomey kingdom's conflict with the Oyo empire who forced the kingdom to pay tribute in the form of slavery which they show in the film briefly. Yes, they didn't show everything as accurate as real history, but guess what? This is how it is in historical fiction.
Where is cuties !
@@admirekashiri6651 too bad they promoted it not as historical fiction eh? "Action Drama History A historical epic inspired by true events" You bend into any angle just to defend trash?
I don't know Queen Njinga but I know Queen Nzinga
Same person
The correct pronunciation/spelling is Njinga ❤
Same Queen different spelling.
Exactly
@@sumaiyahhassan3391 no it’s not as an Angolan it’s Nzinga
When true culture is replaced by barbarism and the grotesque.
"From Executive Producer Jada Pinkett Smith"
Thanks for the warning, Netflix.
Aight I thought the title was something completely different lmao
"Njinga" wasn't what my brain read lmao
It’s cause her name is actually Nzinga not N’Jinga
ok...?
@@chikannnn ok...?
My school was called NJINGA MBANDE  we also knew she was called Nzinga. If you missed that part of the class? I can't blame you. Maybe you to muto Mutu-Ya-Kevela.
👸
Looking forward to watching this.✌️❤️
I bet the actress isn’t even Angolan. Is there any Angolan in this film at all?
The great hero how sold her own people as Slaves xD
Who.told you it was her own people she sold?
@@admirekashiri6651 she sold ca. 13000 people from her Kingdom to the Dutch per year 😂😂
@@admirekashiri6651 and I read books:)
@@martinfischer7735 They were not from her kingdom. Clearly, you didn't reach much. She fought to preserve her kingdom not to sell her people. She did indeed sell slaves from defeated kingdoms and ethnic groups that is true.
@@martinfischer7735 cite and quote these books exactly
😊😊
YAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I will never understand people who love series like Vikings, but despise series like this. They are equally badass.
I don't like either. At least Vikings is clearly presented as a work of fiction despite the people that take it as fact. The Njinga series waters down the complexity of Njinga's character and actions and omits her willing involvement in the slave trade to make her a hero that's easy to sympathize with.
Cool. A good and needed series.
She sold Africans to the Portuguese Jada.
It should be NZINGA, Njinga means something else in swahili
Por favor lancem legendado ou dublado em português
As an Angolan,they could have played angolan music. Angola is southern African not central. Its sucked
I thought it was central Africa
Its nzinga not njinga jada p smith 🤦♂️ the portugues wrote it like that unless your writing a fantasy movie for you massas
I guess Woman King wasn't enough so they decided to make a series.
This isn't Woman King. You have an issue with black women in history don't bother watching then.
Yes...come thru Jada!
Just because its angolan doesnt mean i will support it
I want nothing to do with anything that comes from the smith family
Im angolan and i already know this movie trash
Knowing hollywoods adiction to woke culture, we all know they going to ignore true story of this queen and the bad things she did.
Of course. That’s a given
No wrong can compare to you devils
@@MizzKru I love when the 51% call US Devils. 😂😂😂😂
Does that film show historically correct that she took control of the slave trade and sold african slaves to the Dutch? Between 120000 and 130000 in a 8-10 year period. Strange that People are celebrating such a person here.
Yup - typical re-writing of history to fit a narrative
Do you also type on every movie and clip about the 300 being the actual villains who practiced slavery ?
Who told you this bullshit 😒😒
Keep that same energy with all the other movies and documentaries about queens and kings.
Can you cite your sources, please, for those statistics.
Is it as bad as The Woman King?
HELL YEA IT IS 😂
Definitely
Did you even watch Woman King?? Plus, how can you get an answer without even seeing the documentary??
Love 💘 It!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why so many dislikes?
How many dislikes are there can't see
@@k-ri2023 alright will do.
CAUSE ITS NOT AUTHENTIC

Thank you. I needed to hear that
Sick editing
Yet another Cringey African Fairytales story With American Actors Hilarious And The fact they got Jada to narrate this Story is Truly A Joke this series won’t last longer than two seasons
The actress is African, and the writers are African. Do basic research before getting triggered. Jada is narrating because it's her company behind the docuseries.
Plus, Queen Nzinga is a real historical figure. Before running your mouth, do some research.
Proud🌍.
finally - instead of stupid documentaries about the spoiled brats of the bling ring, we get actual impactful and important content
Bling ring 🤣
This is nonsense, people were dusty and way more suffering than thriving in Africa.
This is nothing like it was, even the hairstyles are modern takes!!
Nzinga was queen of the Kingdom of Kongo. Not of Angola. A small part of angola was included in all of what the Kongo kingdom was. Which included largely DRC Congo and a part of Gabon and north of Angola. That's why many nothern Angolans and some from Gabon and Congo Brazaville speak languages from DRC Congo. The Kingdom of Kongo was later divided into parts now have become their own countries. She is not the queen of Angola. She is the queen of the Kingdom of Kongo. Please learn the correct history, dont learn from these nonsense. She is mostly connected to Congo DRC. Tell the truth and tell history accurately.
Nah the title caught my attention 💀
What up, my njingas?
This looks sick
First view
Hope it's good
"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."
Can you cite the sources please.
"One of the great women rulers of Africa, Queen Anna Nzinga (circa 1581-1663) of Angola fought against the slave trade and European influence in the seventeenth century. Known for being an astute diplomat and visionary military leader, she resisted Portuguese invasion and slave raids for 30 years."
@@admirekashiri6651"One of the greatest minds in ancient Angola, Queen Nzinga elected to not cite sources, claiming that she was beyond such trivialities."
@@raypowers781 She was, though, based on her achievements, hence why she is one of the most well-known African queens. To those who research and know African history ofcourse.
@@0Moreno0 cap i did a search as well and she was heavily involved in the slave trade and only warred against Portugal to get complete control over the slave trade. Why lie
Not much diversity in this... Why didn't Netflix add more white and Asian people in?
Netflix always ham fists people of color into any historical European shows, so why is this different.
The Portuguese and Dutch are involved in many event associated with this queen's reign so they'll definitely be in it. Research that first before getting triggered.
@@admirekashiri6651 Nah I want to see white and Asian diversity in the African tribes... Netflix should be consistent in its race swapping.
@@kygo cause its a documentary. Its based on historical events. You're mad over fictional characters that have never existed in the first place
@@kygo 😂😂 in a historical documentary? Would you like to see that in a European or Asian documentary??
@@kygo ive not seen one black person on Rise of Empire Ottoman on Netflix! Why!? It's a damn dramatisation of teal history with actual scholars msking comments on historical events.
One more horrible idea Netflix... Can't wait not to see this crap
What's horrible about a history documentary exactly??
@@admirekashiri6651 Netflix it's achieving their goal when people like you consider this movie a History documentary
@@vansan2120 It's a documentary with dramatising history like Rise of Empire Ottoman on Netflix. It has scholars making commenrs on historical events that are then shown in a dramatic why. It's the same here sorry its a documentary of Queen Njinga's life. You don't like that history don't watch.
@@admirekashiri6651 "It's a documentary with dramatising history" well what can i say.. if Rise of Empire Ottoman is documentary for you i dont even need to comment.
@@Jimoshi1 Yet you've just commented 😂
Please make season 3 of the series (warrior nun).
False information. Give me a break
IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!! No more slave movies! Give me the African kings and queens! Me and the rest of the American members of the diaspora will be impatiently waiting for season one and the following season to premiere in March.
Well, get ready to be disappointed then 😒 , because I'm 100 certain you will see slavery, in one of his most brutal forms . Because Queen Nzinga Mbande ( Dona ana de Souza) here other name . Was loved but also feared 😨 by lots of tribes , she was a queen who conquered the slave trade from the Portuguese and made them buy slaves from here , taken from other tribes . In that way, she took control and made sure nobody of her own tribe was sold or enslaved ,
Read the books about here they are really interesting 🤔 she was a true boss and not the type to be afraid 😉 .
She did so many boss moves ,
So suddenly, anything to do with black history being shown in documentaries and films is "woke."?? Seriously, how ignorant can people get. Wait for the documentary to come out, then make a judgement. If you're offended by seeing a documentary focused on a piece of African history, then by all means, avoid this. Boycotting and attacking a project before it is even out is pathetic.
Who is even doing that? White reactionaries from The US?
Fun fact that name means bicycle in my language (nyanja)
Angolaaaaaaaa👲
Thank you Netflix 🇦🇴🫶🏾
ISSO É ANGOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
100%
Inventaram Angola deles, eles não querem vir gravar no paludismo 😂😂😂😂
Truly exquisite. Very well done looking forward to many more seasons. Wish Jada had did this years ago
Before she got entangled
if Jada Smith is involved i dont want to see it
Because of one person 😂

There should be documentaries done on them too. But they are mentioned in other African history documentaries.

Black women are so beautiful ❤
They are fierce, strong, bad ass and so much more...
😑
Black women are just as diverse in looks, character and personality as other people. This comment probably was well-intentioned, but we should not ascribe a limited "essence" to a particular set of people.
@@ThePathOfEudaimonia This comment was not made to a particular set of people. Every race is beautiful and equal to one another. No one is more or less. ❤
@@therealrandoms Yes, agreed!
they should have made her white, just like they made vikings black
I mean we've saw white Egyptian gods with a British accent
A taste of your own medicine, they've made Egpytians white.

Finally!!
Is it possible to remove the J ???
omg hahahaha
Wow aren't you funny
I read it without the "J"
Why all these streaming services be suicidal like this...
How is this suicidal?? Since when is showing a documentary if African queens a bad thing?
This lacks diversity
The Dutch and Portuguese are involved in many historical events associated with this kingdom.
Stil lacks diversity in the tribes. If black woman can play the queen of england (historicaly real queen who lived), then we can have white/asians playing african tribe members.
Why is race swapping always done/forced/accepted one way, but tabo the other way? Nothing but hypocrits, this is why people are sick of woke culture, they are a bunch of retarded hypocrits using diversity to push their agenda and belifs.
Jus like how its "empoverment" to say you dont like white culture, but its racist to say you dont like black culture.
Btw i love african culture, asian, european
Everyone is special in their own way. But woke culture is destroying it with its diversity and changing history for their own benefit.
Beautiful! ❤
Check out this book to anyone interested in African history " Bedtime Tales of African Queens Who Slayed History " . A pure gold!
history ? aint that like fiction? they wuz kangz
@@GUNRIR get a life troll
Yeah, I'm sure it's as trustworthy as The Woman King... 🙄
@M Kassa why not wait research the history and then watch and make your conclusion? Jumping to a conclusion without even seeing the documentary is pathetic
I didn't understand what they were, but they are real "ninja queens"!
where is racial diversity???
There will be Portuguese and Dutch people in this like with the historical events.
Giving woman king vibe
How it's a documentary based on the history of Queen Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba
We wuz queenz
Get a life troll.
Netflix is on fire🔥🔥🔥
How many times will this be done now? Another trend.
What exactly??
isn't it queen nzinga ?
Yes it is there are just different ways of spelling her name.
It is
BLACK BLACK BLACK
So many new movies & shows about "Black" women & "Black" queens ... then you go to a trailer about Queen Elizabeth, Empress Xiao Yun, or the like & you won't see any comments about "White" or "Yellow" women or "White" or "Yellow" queens. Nobody ever says how Yellow skin or Yellow women are so much better than other women. Modern culture is so obsessed with "representation" of the black skin. Don't misunderstand, there is nothing wrong with movies that are about Black people or with a Black cast. It's just that it's become so apparent that there is a POLITICAL PUSH or VIRTUOUS narrative to put black skin in everything. It's literally everywhere now. Race swapping everything from Black Little Mermaid to Black Queen Dwarf & Elves. Black skin color is always at the forefront of "equality" these days. How can we see each other for the "content of our characters" instead of the "color of our skin" (as MLK said) if we keep putting skin color above all else? How can we see one another for who we are if we keep segregating ourselves by our skin color? There are black colleges & dorms ... but do you see white colleges, YELLOW colleges? No. Only colleges that are predominantly white but not exclusively white. You have Affirmative Action that allow colleges to give favor to students who have BLACK SKIN over WHITE SKIN. Segregation is alive and well in 2023 but is dressed up as "equality."
Somebody sounds jealous.
The proper word is asian not yellow smh.
If you're offended by a documentary focusing on black African queens by all.means avoid this then. its not that deep.
🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴🇦🇴
She is also a part of QUEER AFRICAN HISTORY!
Nice, finally a documentary about here . Read books about here she was a boss . She also had her cruel side , but who didn't in those times 🤔
She sold slaves here self in order to get control over the slave trade and Portuguese, and in that way She made sure none of here tribe members were enslaved , just people from other tribes.
Some even say she enslaved here own brother , don't know whats true about that do
Sorry, I can't help Jada. I think she is evil.
Agreed she is a WITCH 🧙
Anything to destroy discredit the black man where are the kings other than the dead one they gave us in avengers. Most women sexist nowadays
As a BM, go make the movies you want people to watch about your image.
Shut up!
