Familjen Babajou consists of mother, father, three brothers and a sister. The family has fled Idi Amin's dictatorship in Uganda to Sweden. The year is 1979, Babajous life changed overnight when my dad moved back to Africa and the mother decides that she and the children stay in the Swedish welfare state. Baker Karim has written the script with his brother Alexander, and the story has a partially autobiographical background.
I just finished watching the first episode we start with the whole family dancing in the living room in Bredäng. But quickly turns when Idi Amin's dictatorship ends and the dad wants the family to move back to Uganda the mom wants to stay in Sweden the dads leaves and goes back to Uganda. the youngest kid ''Timmy'' gets into fights at school while the older brother ''Big Willy'' (to the far right on the picture above) is hanging with a group of suspected racist smoking what i think is weed in the schoolyard. while his mom is working literally day and night at a laundry mat she expresses to her co-workers that she's tired of living in the ghetto she quickly goes out to look for different apartments in different magazines and finds one in Helsingborg with two bathrooms and 6 rooms for 3 300 crowns she travels to Helsingborg to look at the apartment but when she gets there she tells the broker whos a suspected racist that she takes the apartment the mom pulls out the money to pay for the apartment but the broker says that the apartment cost 540 000 and says that its a condo wich the mom didn't know. And from here on out its probably the tackiest scene ive ever seen the white female broker start saying this tacky tacky tacky speech '' we live in a mans world sister it feels wonderful that you soul sisters making a way in this society of male chauvinist pigs there also made for stupid white men but there is a way of bending the rules" (im not joking this is exactly how the speech went just see for yourself its like 24:00 link below).The mom signs the contract to the house and the broker ask for a high five the scene ends and a couple of minutes later the kids move in and they're happy about it until they come to there new school the racism start right when they're about to introduce ''Big Willy'' to his class and the teacher ask willy where he's from Stockholm the teacher is like nigger where you really from?In the next scene the big sister Miriam is getting introduced to her class and the whole class ask questions about her to the teacher meanwhile shes standing right next to her one of the students ask were shes from and the teacher ''say well i don't know look like she could be from Africa'' Miriam looks at her like what the fuck ? the teacher turns around and write JAMBO on the board with big letters and says that means welcome right. ''Can we say Jambo to Miriam'' the whole class says jambo the teacher continues 'do yall have any questions to our new African friend Miriam turn around to look at the class with the wtf look on her face one student raise her hand up and ask ''why are they starving in africa?'' the teacher answer quickly ''because there's no rain there and so the lives stock dies so they cant grow anything'' cant they figure out a technique like we have dont here in Sweden says one of the students. no well its called the third world because the humans there are not yet developed (black people are inferior) a couple scenes go by and the family is siting at night in the kitchen and willy says that he dont wanna go back to school because they dont like them there the mom gets mad and smacks him in the face. later on Willie goes to school and sees GO HOME YOU FUCKIN NIGGER written on his locker. Overall this episode was good it got a white savior moment in the beginning but other than that it's pretty decent can't wait to see episode 2
