Bolanle Austen-Peters replies critics of “House of Ga’a”
Popular filmmaker, Bolanle Austen-Peters, has stated that her most recent movie, “House of Ga’a”, is a feature film, not a documentary.
This was in response to critics who claimed that the latest film lacked historical accuracy and misrepresented the Yoruba culture.
However, in a post on X, the filmmaker clarified that the movie is inspired by true events, not a documentary, and encouraged viewers to enjoy its cinematic magic.
Austen-Peters wrote on X, “I love that Ga’a is creating conversations about our history & culture. House of Ga’a is a feature film inspired by true events that took place in Oyo Ile. It is not a documentary. There is room for a documentary for history buffs. For movie lovers, keep enjoying the magic of House of GA’A on Netflix.”
The film, which premiered on Netflix on July 26, has received both positive reviews and criticism.
