So far this movie has been released in China and Thailand and I fervently hope it will stay that way.
The Chinese PR machine presents this production as UN approved and "based on true events". It was launched at May 1 in local theaters as a tribute to Chinese blue helmets who once rescued citizens from the clutches of some real nasty Africans as you can see on the film poster that looks like a apocalyptic zombie movie.
Of course this isn't the first time that the Chinese government presents us their own version of reality but really, this artist impression of the Chinese Savior Complex comes with a new low: they use blackface to infiltrate and fool the African people.
Apart from that who in his right mind can think that Africans would see a bunch of Asians with black face and dreadlocks as their own people?
In short, this movie is in a league of its own, meant for Chinese entertainment only. Don't see it.
