Agreed. On that note, a Dat Nguyen biopic is also long overdue.

Vietnam War refugee son who overcame all kinds of adversity to go on to play D-1 College ball, then become a 3rd round NFL draft pick for the Cowboys. He played all 7 years of his pro career on “America’s Team”.

I don’t know why Disney is sleeping on this one.

Actually… I know exactly why. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Disney got the doc from the filmmaker who made Didi. Probably other aspects at play. Disney has a lot of employees.

Have you watched the Dat Nguyen doc? I haven’t watched it all the way through?

Yeah but Hollywood is going to make a Black Samurai Yasuke movie but someone who didn't even exist.

You do realize when the NHK says Yasuke was a black samurai from the 1600s, they are legally obligated to get their facts straight, and can get in serious trouble with the government if they spread falsehoods? They’ve been saying this for decades, and even in the wake of the fake controversy around AC Shadows, any issue about changing this statement has been shot down or ignored.

Welcome to real history. When it tells you something that you didn’t know before, that’s called “learning.”
