On Facebook, comments denounce “a falsification of the history of North Africa. The choice of the actor is part of the agenda of Afrocentricists to appropriate our history, ”writes a surfer.
The legendary Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca, rarely represented in the cinema, will be represented in a major historical film produced by Netflix. It is the famous American actor Denzel Washington, who played in the suite of Gladiator, who will play Hannibal.
This announcement has aroused a wave of accusing reactions from Tunisians on social networks denouncing “a falsification of history and a project on the part of the Afrocentricists aimed at giving a central place in history to black cultures at the expense of other culture.
“The choice of the actor is part of the agenda of the Afrocentricists to appropriate our history,” writes Malak, “we must not ignore that in silence !!! Everywhere on YouTube, Facebook, and now Netflix, they claim that they are the native peoples of North Africa. And that Carthage and ancient Egypt were black civilizations ”.
In the same sense Raiss warns: “Do you be stupid?” How can you be proud of this historic flight of our inheritance! Watch who made this film? As with the pyramids, soon the assisted Afrocentricists of their Master Wokism (Zionist) will claim our land! ».
Claude invites Tunisians to defend himself: “Tunisian lawyers must file a complaint with Netflix, as the Egyptian lawyers did last year when Netflix released a film on Cleopatra and his character was interpreted by a black actress … and that made the scandal known to the whole world.
And international public opinion rose to the side of the Egyptians and Netflix changed the “documentary” film category at “Fiction”.
“After Cleopatra, now afrocentrism and cultural appropriation goes to Hannibal. May God protect Tunisia! », Writes Béchir.
Written by John Logan and co -produced by Denzel Washington, Hannibal’s shooting will not start before the end of next year due to the production during Gladiator 2.
