Nigeria is not a jungle. I've been to Lagos and it's a thriving Metropolis. I hate racist Western media.

[@oscarmike1131]

they do that with all African countries. they think we all live on jungles

[@kadielynn100]

+youtubeabuser people have to stop watching Western media.The movie is about how the filthy rich don't care,what happens to the slaves.Even thought the slaves make good money. What does it matter when your dead.

[@venicemackay9244]

yeah it has jungles but so do lots of country's

[@lui3490]

I am from Brazil and they are from America. They also think that from here.

[@collinghood6828]

Yeah my parents are Nigerian and we went there for the summer, there were towns and amusement parks and technology stores!

[@creamcrackers279]

I am Not Nigerian but to say Nigeria is a jungle is sickening. I am an African and I am not happy about that discription

[@okbaumgaertner7126]

Jungles are beautiful ecosystems! Why would that be offensive,? I spent many years of my childhood in a jungle environment and I loved it! Better than concrete jungles.

Quote from National Geographic “Nigeria is a patchwork of distinctive regions, including deserts, plains, swamps, mountains, and steamy jungles. It has one of the largest river systems in the world, including the Niger Delta, the third largest delta on Earth. Much of Nigeria is covered with plains and savannas.”

[@shawna8134]

“In the jungles of Nigeria” typical American ignorance

Will Smith should get an Oscar nomination for his power house performance !! Just excellent !!

[@charisselinnellmorton851]

Wade Fletcher I think that his accent was very poorly done. Probably had not been given enough time to prepare. Indris Alba would have nailed this role!

[@johnnygag1]

Will seems confused.

[@Gpomps]

Nigeria is not a jungle!!!!I am Nigerian...

[@TheRemnntCamp]

Well, he must have been the first person born in a jungle to ever appear in a picture 1:30 decked out in western apparel and a bow tie... Ya think..?

[@ts123ize]

Ifeanyi Akaolisa Bennett omalu's dad was a civil mining engineer... I don't think his family was that poor.

[@TheRemnntCamp]

Well, it was a sort of tongue-in-cheek retort to some of that movie's lines... I knew his family, grew up in the same city and went to the same schools with some family members...

[@TheRemnntCamp]

By the way, David Morse deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of Iron Mike Webster in this flick...

[@deepriver4389]

Dr. Omalu's book, Truth Doesn't Have a Side, came out in 2017. A good read.

[@brianfrancis2398]

This doctor is one amazing human being

[@Skybolter]

Dr. Bennett Omalu, A TRUE AMERICAN HERO.

[@Aguvika]

Jungles of Nigeria.....smh

[@okbaumgaertner7126]

[@collinghood6828]

I can't stop watching the movie

[@СлаваРоссия-у7ж]

The fact that Will Smith hasn't won an Oscar really pisses me off!

[@redluca56]

So about that

[@Dr.VonBraun]

“He who knows, must come forward and speak.” Wow. Talk about having a prophetic name. Wow!

[@NicoleKe]

8 degrees? What have I done with my life.

[@khaldounelbey3968]

There are no "jungles" in Africa, only deserts, rainforests, mountains, and savannas. Ignorance is certainly not bliss when it comes to racial stereotypes.

[@lukasprochazkaprod]

Khaldoun El Bey it's pathetic yes....to be fair I think what we saw was a ignorance in general, they do quite a lot to be more sansational, but they do it to all people, iran boy grow in war, litvian in forrest etc., ignorance have no race preferences

[@charisselinnellmorton851]

This film would have been much better with a different leading man.When I watched the PBS Frontline Documentary about this Man who is just trying to do the right thing and he is stomped on by the NFL .... I though the only person who should play him is Indris Alba. Yes Will Smith can act but this requires a high level of attention to very specific details that Alba would have really been perfect for.

[@PorkSoda101]

why not mention webster's arrests for having prescription pads ? or him frequently visiting the southside works ? (the longest bar strip in america)

[@TheStudderman]

This movie wasn’t taking on the NFL (not completely). It was about making the NFL “Safer”. Thats where no head to head contact came from, no hits on a blinded receiver. So basically this Dr won. Good for him.

[@0mally13]

Will should of got an Oscar for Ali and this movie, I think the NFL could of had something to do with that

[@lukasprochazkaprod]

I love how they put words from letters spelling concusion in every shot...so you be like what was that film they talk about? What is that thing under flower...it's a sign and it spelled concosion...oooh the movie name...

[@beeftestosterone4355]

Will smith looks almost exactly like the doctor. It’s uncanny. Great person to play the role

[@josephedokwe6177]

Enugu State is not a jungle, i beg to differ

[@hyeinaeso]

I love chess game :)

[@shaolintexchrislightninga.8234]

Raekwon⤵.

[@footballrealist9171]

There should have been a movie about former steelers quarterback Joe Gilliam , but the reasons is , is that so much truth would have to be told from Gilliam receiving death threats from Pittsburgh area KKK. This movie I can t understand why spike Lee haven't investigated Gilliam story on screen the way they did Brian piccolo story with Gale Sayers. Wouldn't it have the same significant with Joe Gilliam and Terry Bradshaw and the producer's of the 🎥 movie Brian song's many black Qbs don't even know who Joe Gilliam is. Where are the bright minds of yesterday today and tomorrow are at. And let jussie slomett play Joe Gilliam, his charges were dropped. Sorry he needs a job right now! 😃 😃 😃 somebody got to do it!

[@Bigchet1223]

Anti football movie. I like football so I have no interest in this movie.

[@davidval7188]

Clevelandsux WOW .YOU CAN'T IGNORE THE TRUTH. ITS A TRUE STORY. THE NFL HAS CHANGED ITS POLICY BECAUSE OF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS MOVIE AND ITS SUCH A WELL DONE MOVIE. YOU ARE DEPRIVING YOURSELF OF A WONDERFULLY AND ENLIGHTENING EXPERIENCE.

[@scootdaws25]

But it's not you out there getting your brain scrambled. I guess that makes it okay.

[@ahill4642]

One might think a true fan would have a loyalty to the players that would include wishing them well physically and mentally, and on a longterm basis. Respectfully... where's your heart?

[@UserName-qt9dz]

Another one of the NFL’s mindless drones
