So, 'Dear Africans' is this curious animation piece from 2011 that tries to tackle some heavy themes like freedom and solidarity. It's set against the backdrop of Europe, which is interesting because it kind of positions the continent as the benevolent provider of these ideals. You get a mixed bag of visuals that aim to convey wealth and peace, but honestly, it feels a bit one-dimensional. The pacing can be a bit uneven too; sometimes it drags when you wish it would dive deeper into the complexities. The use of practical effects is minimal, leaning heavily on animation to tell its story. It's worth a watch if you're into exploring how narratives about Africa are crafted from a Western perspective, but it does come off as a bit simplistic in its portrayal.
