I want to precede this post by saying I, unlike a lot of critics, have enjoyed "woke" films. In 2016, The Legend of Tarzan was released. Despite having a disappointing box office reception, the film accurately depicted the reality of colonial Africa at the time Edgar Rice Borroughs set his character. (With a budget of $180 million, it did $356.7 million at the box office.)
Within the film was the real life figure of George Washington Williams, played by Samuel L. Jackson, a former Civil War soldier who was active in drawing attention to Belgian colonial exploitation in Congo. When Belgium colonized the Congo, they claimed initially that they were combating the Arab slave trade and Williams put significant effort in to trying to publicize the reality - that Belgians, like other colonial powers, were simply using pre-existing forms of oppression to excessively exploit Africa.
