Three warriors: noble Wurubenba (Jacky Ido), Shandaru (Cedric Ido), who wants to avenge his father\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s death, and Kapkaru (Min Man Ma) craving for power, will face one another in a fight for life and death.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>What We Learned:<\/strong> Out there in the future open plains of Africa there are samurai roaming the land being all badass and shit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll Watch:<\/strong> Future black samurai warriors. This trailer took us by pleasant surprise. A quick search revealed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1846577\/\" class=\"external external_icon\">HASAKI YA SUDA<\/a> is a 25 minute short film made by French\/Burkinabe filmmaker C\u00c3\u00a9dric Ido. This <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.indiewire.com\/shadowandact\/watch-trailer-for-awesome-future-set-african-samurai-adventure-film-hasaki-ya-suda\" class=\"external external_icon\">IndieWire post from November 2011<\/a> explains the filmmaker&#8217;s biography in more detail. We&#8217;re here to talk about the trailer itself. The Akira Kurosawa influence is strong and welcomed. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C\u00c3\u00a9dric is also a superhero fanboy, and <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.indiewire.com\/shadowandact\/watch-trailer-for-awesome-future-set-african-samurai-adventure-film-hasaki-ya-suda\" class=\"external external_icon\">plans to make films about black people that incorporate unlikely\/unexpected elements<\/a>, and that are within genres that historically and still currently ignore the contributions of people of African descent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For once we get a film that steps outside <a href=\"http:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/TokenMinority\" class=\"external external_icon\">the tropes Hollywood<\/a> continues to force down the movie-going public&#8217;s throats year after year.<\/p>\n<p>But enough of our soapbox. We mostly want to watch it because it looks badass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When&#8217;s it coming?<\/strong> That is a bit vague. All signs point to some time in 2012.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Official site:<\/strong> Also, vague. there&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/people\/Hasaki-Ya-Suda-Thefilm\/100000538832277\" class=\"external external_icon\">Facebook page<\/a> with not much on it.
