The White Massai

There is also a French movie "Monsieur Claude and his daughters". It's about a family with four daughters. Three of them have married, one married an Arab, one married a Jew, one married a Chinese. They are now hoping the fourth one would marry "a good Catholic". Finally she does marry a Catholic, a black man from Cote d'Ivoire.
Don't know if they have it in English yet.

There is also "Vers le sud" (Heading South). French movie on white females travelling to the Caribbean to "get their groove back", and all that. Completely different narrative, but such things do happen as we know, and the movie is well done.
As for Hollywood and their portrayal of Africa/Africans-they play it safe. And partly they also don't have a clue.

That is a great film.
Also saw a documentary once on TV about a young woman who joined a group pf nomadic people in sub Sahara Africa.
It does seem exciting.

In a certain way this film does treat all the stereotypes we have concerning marriage with other races
But in a funny way it puts all these stereotypes together.
Funny but true and eduational.

That movie was mentioned in this site years back. It was interesting. I saw that flick and later purchased the DVD.
