Shaka Zulu, Coming to America, Black Panther, The Last King of Scotland, The Lion King, The Woman King... So many Kings! Are there no other African stories besides this one?

shareNone of those except The Gods Must Be Crazy actually focus on a black African main character, though.
shareYou didn't specify black, you just said African.
shareOK, so other than Roots and The Gods Must Be Crazy, there are few or no movies about black African protagonists that do not involve being or becoming a King. However, movies about white Africans have a much wider range of story possibilities.
shareAnd Captain Phillips definitely qualifies.
