What is wrong with it? Is it the fact that it was directed and produced by Igbo film makers?

I like the battle scene, btw. Nollywood makes really shitty battle scenes. It was refreshing to see this one. Didn't know about this film until now, and now I just have to see it.

Judging from the trailer, the story seems completely corrupted. I think of they are going to do her history justice then they ought to do the proper research which it seems they haven't. Best of all, I just feel it's not their story to tell. Maybe they should have included a few kannywood actors or at least get a Hausa actress to portray the titular role. Imagine casting a white guy to play Malcolm X. The Hausa language should at least have some part in this. It just looks and feels all wrong in my opinion.

Oh, I see. I read the synopsis and there were Kannywood actors involved, most prominent being Ali Nuhu and Yakubu Muhammed.

A Kannywood production of Amina's story already exists; I don't see anything wrong with this one obviously aimed at a wider audience.
