Would be interested to see any movies/shows about medieval Africa. Not merely pre-colonial, because many pre-colonial African societies were more dark age, similar to nordic Europe of the Roman imperial era. But specifically medieval.

One trailer I found is based on true story about Queen Amina of Zazzau kingdom in present day Nigeria.

I will say that these Nollywood films have gotten a lot better over the years. I've actually enjoyed some of them on Netflix. May have to check this out.

African mythology, is extremely underrated. It's been a personal goal of mine to write medieval series, where African witchcraft and other practices have real world effects. Lot's of interesting cultural practices continent wide, let alone just Nigeria alone.
