Eyes of Wakanda tackles colonial history in a way that kids can understand
Eyes of Wakanda is a new animated show set in the universe of Black Panther. The prequel follows a secret group of Wakandans called the War Dogs, who fight to retrieve stolen artifacts from different time periods.
This mini-series is a mix of fictional and factual history, and it touches on some complex geopolitical themes. This leads some parents to wonder: is this mini-series appropriate for young audiences?
Today on Commotion, culture critic El Jones visits Commotion guest host Ali Hassan to explain why she enjoyed Eyes of Wakanda, and how it can teach kids about cultural theft during the colonization of Africa.
