    I grew up in the 90s, and I can’t think of the animals in Africawithout thinking of the Lion King. This is easily one of the best movies set in Africa. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, you need to stop reading right this second and get on Amazon, hop on Disney Plus, or go about your usual way of accessing movies and watch this tonight. I mean, c...

    One of my favorite movies about Africa that is still very relevant today. Seeing the mountain gorillas in Rwanda and Uganda has been high on my list for years (UPDATE: We checked that off), but I never knew the entire story behind these beautiful creatures. So if you’re off gorilla trekking in either Uganda, Rwanda, or DRC we recommend watching thi...

    A Netflix original movie garnered international recognition and won many awards. Beasts of No Nation takes place in an unnamed West African country and follows a young boy who loses his family to a brutal war. He is soon adopted as a child soldier into a rising rebel group. Although the film remains ambiguous about the location, it portrays the hor...

    This is one of the best African movies based on actual events in Africa. I recently saw this pop up on my Netflix suggestions, and seeing that it was directed by one of my favorite actors, Chiwetel Ejiofor, I knew I had to watch it. Within the first few minutes, I was completely mesmerized as the scenes brought me back to our time in Malawi. The Bo...

    Another Netflix original, this documentary focuses on conserving the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Or at least that’s how the documentary starts until the filmmakers and park rangers find themselves embroiled in a civil war. The film showcases heart-stopping footage as conservationists work to protect the park, which is...

    Called the “African Schindler’s List,” this film is an absolute must-watch for anyone wanting to watch movies about Africa. It’s deeply saddening to remember that just 30 years ago, there was a genocide happening in Rwanda, with the ethnic Tutsi being the victims of the Hutu militia, killing off 20% of the Rwandan population! This is the true story...

    Starring Sophie Okonedo, the female lead in Hotel Rwanda above is a terrific biographical movie about Sandra Laing.One of the best movies based on actual events in Africa. Sandra is a South African woman born to white parents; she was then classified as “colored” due to atavism during apartheid. The film follows Sandra and her family, who are divid...

    Another movie is about apartheid in South Africa and its effects. I watched this movie as a young girl on the Disney Channel, and it never left my mind. It paints a picture of apartheid in the 1970s and how it affects two young girls in two separate countries. Throughout the film, the two must overcome their differences. I love this movie as it’s s...

    This was in my Netflix queue forever and is now one of my favorite thriller movies set in Africa. Although I love Ralph Fiennes, I never brought myself to watch it. I recently sat down to watch this political thriller and LOVED it and have since read the book and rewatched the film many times. Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes are an unlikely couple l...

    This romantic drama was nominated for 12 Academy Awards in 1996 and featured young Ralph Fiennes in his prime. Did I mention I love Ralph Fiennes? Set during WWII, The English Patient tells the story of a widowed nurse caring for a severely burned patient. This injured man is known only as “The English Patient” for his distinct English Accent and h...
