1
00:00:07,921 --> 00:00:10,361
Baada ya vita ya nuklea vya kusikitisha

2
00:00:10,361 --> 00:00:14,661
Lilith Iyapo anaamka baada ya
miaka 250 ya mapumziko

3
00:00:14,661 --> 00:00:18,857
kujikuta amezungukwa na kundi la
viumbe linaloitwa Oankali.

4
00:00:18,857 --> 00:00:21,737
Hawa viumbe walioendelea sana
walitaka kubadilishana DNA

5
00:00:21,737 --> 00:00:23,157
kwa kuzaliana na binadamu

6
00:00:23,157 --> 00:00:27,517
ili kila kinasaba cha kiumbe kisambae
na kiwe na nguvu kushinda kingine.

7
00:00:27,517 --> 00:00:32,257
Njia pekee wanayotoa ni kinga ya uzazi
kwa jamii yote ya binadamu.

8
00:00:32,257 --> 00:00:35,477
Je ubiinadamu utakubali kuingia kwenye
biolojia isiyojulikana,

9
00:00:35,477 --> 00:00:38,327
au wang'ang'anie asili yao na wapotee?

10
00:00:38,327 --> 00:00:41,317
Maswali kama haya yamejaa kwenye
"Dawn" ya Olivia Butler,

11
00:00:41,317 --> 00:00:44,217
ya kwanza kwenye simulizi yake ya utatu
ya "Lilith's Brood".

12
00:00:44,217 --> 00:00:47,237
Msimuliaji anayeona mbali aliyebadilisha
bunilizi ya kisayansi,

13
00:00:47,237 --> 00:00:50,097
Butler amejenga dunia za kustaajabisha
katika kazi yake --

14
00:00:50,097 --> 00:00:53,187
na kufumbua mafumbo
yanayotuweka macho usiku.

15
00:00:53,187 --> 00:00:54,996
Alizaliwa mwaka 1947,

16
00:00:54,996 --> 00:00:59,046
Butler alikua na aibu na mpole akiishi
Pasadena, California.

17
00:00:59,046 --> 00:01:01,386
Aliota hadithi akiwa na umri mdogo,

18
00:01:01,386 --> 00:01:04,306
na punde akaanza kuziandika hizi
fikra kwenye karatasi.

19
00:01:04,306 --> 00:01:07,236
Na miaka kumi na mbili, alimuomba
mama yake mashine ya kuchapa

20
00:01:07,236 --> 00:01:12,256
baada ya filamu ya bunilizi ya sayansi
iitwayo "Msichana Shetani kutoka Mars"

21
00:01:12,256 --> 00:01:14,097
Kutokuvutiwa na alichokiona,

22
00:01:14,097 --> 00:01:16,707
Butler alijua angeweza kusimulia
simulizi nzuri zaidi.

23
00:01:16,707 --> 00:01:19,437
Iliyojaa za bunilizi za sayansi
wanaume weupe mashujaa

24
00:01:19,437 --> 00:01:22,897
wanaolipua viumbe au wanakua
wakombozi wa watu weusi.

25
00:01:22,897 --> 00:01:26,607
Butler alitaka kuandika wahusika tofauti
kwa ajili ya watazamaji tofauti.

26
00:01:26,607 --> 00:01:31,187
Alileta uelewa na kina kwenye
uwakilishaji wa uzoefu wao.

27
00:01:31,187 --> 00:01:32,244
Kwa Butler,

28
00:01:32,244 --> 00:01:35,924
ubunifu haukua tu kwa kupanda mbegu
za bunilizi za sayansi--

29
00:01:35,924 --> 00:01:40,794
lakini pia njia ya kupona dunia isiyo na
haki kwa mapatano ya mtu mwenyewe.

30
00:01:40,794 --> 00:01:43,372
Kazi yake huchukua sehemu
zenye mateso za duniani

31
00:01:43,372 --> 00:01:48,182
kama ubaguaji unaotakana na rangi,
jinsia, hali au uwezo,

32
00:01:48,182 --> 00:01:52,125
na kumkaribisha msomaji
kuzitafakari kwenye muktadha mpya.

33
00:01:52,125 --> 00:01:53,775
Moja ya riwaya zake zinazopendwa,

34
00:01:53,775 --> 00:01:55,265
ya "Mithali ya Mpanzi,"

35
00:01:55,265 --> 00:01:56,805
Inafwata huu mpangilio.

36
00:01:56,805 --> 00:01:59,565
Inaelezea hadithi ya Lauren Oya Olamina

37
00:01:59,565 --> 00:02:03,775
akielekea njiani kupitia California ya
karibuni, iliyoharibiwa na tamaa ya jumla,

38
00:02:03,775 --> 00:02:06,865
ukosefu wa haki, na uharibifu wa
mazingira.

39
00:02:06,865 --> 00:02:08,795
Akipambana na huruma kubwa,

40
00:02:08,795 --> 00:02:11,945
au hali kwenye kitabu inayomfanya
asikie uchungu wa wenzie,

41
00:02:11,945 --> 00:02:13,855
na mara chache, furaha yao.

42
00:02:13,855 --> 00:02:18,325
Lauren anaanza safari na kundi la
wakimbizi kutafuta sehemu ya kupumzika.

43
00:02:18,325 --> 00:02:23,250
Hapo, wanajaribu kuishi kutokana na dini
yake aliyoigundua, mbegu-dunia,

44
00:02:23,250 --> 00:02:24,830
ambayo inategemea kanuni

45
00:02:24,830 --> 00:02:28,240
kua binadamu wanatakiwa wafuate
dunia inayobadilika kila mara.

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,710
Safari ya Lauren ina mizizi kwenye
uhalisi wa maisha-

47
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:32,950
California Prop 187,

48
00:02:32,950 --> 00:02:36,950
ambayo ilijaribu kuzuia wahamiaji bila
vibali haki za msingi za kibinadamu,

49
00:02:36,950 --> 00:02:39,380
kabla ilionekana kutotambulika kwenye
katiba.

50
00:02:39,380 --> 00:02:42,990
Butler siku zote aliweka habari
zinazoendelea kwenye uandishi wake.

51
00:02:42,990 --> 00:02:47,360
Kwenye mwendelezo wake mwaka 1998 wa 
"Mithali ya Mpanzi", "Mithali ya Talanta,"

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,281
aliandika kuhusu mgombea uraisi

53
00:02:49,281 --> 00:02:53,591
anayewatawala Wamarekani kwa ukweli
taswira na "mikanda ya umeme."

54
00:02:53,591 --> 00:02:56,481
Msemo wake? "Fanya Marekani bora tena."

55
00:02:56,481 --> 00:02:58,341
Wakati watu wakitambua utabiri wake,

56
00:02:58,341 --> 00:03:01,661
Butler alivutiwa pia na kufwatilia
tena historia.

57
00:03:01,661 --> 00:03:03,771
Mfano
"Jamaa" inaelezea hadithi ya

58
00:03:03,771 --> 00:03:06,171
mwanamke anayerudishwa nyuma
ya muda mara kwa mara

59
00:03:06,171 --> 00:03:09,241
kwenye shamba la Maryland la mababu zake.

60
00:03:09,241 --> 00:03:13,771
Mwanzoni, anagundua kwamba kazi yake
ni kuokoa maisha ya mwananume mweupe

61
00:03:13,771 --> 00:03:15,532
ambae atambaka nyanya yake.

62
00:03:15,532 --> 00:03:19,662
Asipomuokoa, yeye mweyewe
atasitishwa kuwepo

63
00:03:19,664 --> 00:03:23,074
Haya matatizo makali yanamlazimisha Dana
kutazama majanga yanayoendelea

64
00:03:23,074 --> 00:03:26,684
ya utumwa na ubakaji yanayowakabili
wanawake Weusi.

65
00:03:26,684 --> 00:03:29,334
Na simulizi zake za wanawake
kuanzisha jumuiya mpya,

66
00:03:29,334 --> 00:03:31,864
wasafiri wa mda wakishinda
fitina za kihistoria,

67
00:03:31,864 --> 00:03:33,774
na viumbe tofauti kushabihiana,

68
00:03:33,774 --> 00:03:38,694
Butler alikuwa na ushawishi wa kushangaza
kwenye umaarufu unaokua wa Afrofuturism.

69
00:03:38,694 --> 00:03:40,000
Hio ni harakati ya utamaduni

70
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,820
ambapo waandishi na wasanii Weusi ambao
wanavutiwa na ya nyuma, sasa na ya mbele,

71
00:03:44,820 --> 00:03:50,200
kutoa kazi zinazojumuisha mazingaombwe,
historia, teknolojia na mengine mengi.

72
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,100
Wakati Lauren anakuja kujifunza kwenye
"Mithali ya Mpanzi,"

73
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:55,360
"Kila unachogusa unabadilisha.

74
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,729
Kila unachobadilisha kinakubadilisha wewe.

75
00:03:57,729 --> 00:04:01,169
Ukweli pekee usiopinda ni Mabadiliko."
