I would love to see films tackle serious and historical subject matters more often in the tradition of Roots, Sarafina, Cry Freedom, Malcolm X, Amistad, and Hotel Rwanda, and also the yet-to-be-made Gladiator-scale epics of early African heros such as the real Lion King of Africa, Sundiata Keita, or Sunni 'Ali, or any popular queen - the biblical Candace, for one. I would also like to see more culture-based films such as Eve's Bayou and Soul Food.
