00:00:07.921 --> 00:00:10.361
Baada ya vita ya nuklea vya kusikitisha

00:00:10.361 --> 00:00:14.661
Lilith Iyapo anaamka baada ya
miaka 250 ya mapumziko

00:00:14.661 --> 00:00:18.857
kujikuta amezungukwa na kundi la
viumbe linaloitwa Oankali.

00:00:18.857 --> 00:00:21.737
Hawa viumbe walioendelea sana
walitaka kubadilishana DNA

00:00:21.737 --> 00:00:23.157
kwa kuzaliana na binadamu

00:00:23.157 --> 00:00:27.517
ili kila kinasaba cha kiumbe kisambae
na kiwe na nguvu kushinda kingine.

00:00:27.517 --> 00:00:32.257
Njia pekee wanayotoa ni kinga ya uzazi
kwa jamii yote ya binadamu.

00:00:32.257 --> 00:00:35.477
Je ubiinadamu utakubali kuingia kwenye
biolojia isiyojulikana,

00:00:35.477 --> 00:00:38.327
au wang'ang'anie asili yao na wapotee?

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:38.327 --> 00:00:41.317
Maswali kama haya yamejaa kwenye
"Dawn" ya Olivia Butler,

00:00:41.317 --> 00:00:44.217
ya kwanza kwenye simulizi yake ya utatu
ya "Lilith's Brood".

00:00:44.217 --> 00:00:47.237
Msimuliaji anayeona mbali aliyebadilisha
bunilizi ya kisayansi,

00:00:47.237 --> 00:00:50.097
Butler amejenga dunia za kustaajabisha
katika kazi yake --

00:00:50.097 --> 00:00:53.187
na kufumbua mafumbo
yanayotuweka macho usiku.

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:53.187 --> 00:00:54.996
Alizaliwa mwaka 1947,

00:00:54.996 --> 00:00:59.046
Butler alikua na aibu na mpole akiishi
Pasadena, California.

00:00:59.046 --> 00:01:01.386
Aliota hadithi akiwa na umri mdogo,

00:01:01.386 --> 00:01:04.306
na punde akaanza kuziandika hizi
fikra kwenye karatasi.

00:01:04.306 --> 00:01:07.236
Na miaka kumi na mbili, alimuomba
mama yake mashine ya kuchapa

00:01:07.236 --> 00:01:12.256
baada ya filamu ya bunilizi ya sayansi
iitwayo "Msichana Shetani kutoka Mars"

00:01:12.256 --> 00:01:14.097
Kutokuvutiwa na alichokiona,

00:01:14.097 --> 00:01:16.707
Butler alijua angeweza kusimulia
simulizi nzuri zaidi.

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:16.707 --> 00:01:19.437
Iliyojaa za bunilizi za sayansi
wanaume weupe mashujaa

00:01:19.437 --> 00:01:22.897
wanaolipua viumbe au wanakua
wakombozi wa watu weusi.

00:01:22.897 --> 00:01:26.607
Butler alitaka kuandika wahusika tofauti
kwa ajili ya watazamaji tofauti.

00:01:26.607 --> 00:01:31.187
Alileta uelewa na kina kwenye
uwakilishaji wa uzoefu wao.

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:31.187 --> 00:01:32.244
Kwa Butler,

00:01:32.244 --> 00:01:35.924
ubunifu haukua tu kwa kupanda mbegu
za bunilizi za sayansi--

00:01:35.924 --> 00:01:40.794
lakini pia njia ya kupona dunia isiyo na
haki kwa mapatano ya mtu mwenyewe.

00:01:40.794 --> 00:01:43.372
Kazi yake huchukua sehemu
zenye mateso za duniani

00:01:43.372 --> 00:01:48.182
kama ubaguaji unaotakana na rangi,
jinsia, hali au uwezo,

00:01:48.182 --> 00:01:52.125
na kumkaribisha msomaji
kuzitafakari kwenye muktadha mpya.

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:52.125 --> 00:01:53.775
Moja ya riwaya zake zinazopendwa,

00:01:53.775 --> 00:01:55.265
ya "Mithali ya Mpanzi,"

00:01:55.265 --> 00:01:56.805
Inafwata huu mpangilio.

Inaelezea hadithi ya Lauren Oya Olamina

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:59.565 --> 00:02:03.775
akielekea njiani kupitia California ya
karibuni, iliyoharibiwa na tamaa ya jumla,

00:02:03.775 --> 00:02:06.865
ukosefu wa haki, na uharibifu wa
mazingira.

00:02:06.865 --> 00:02:08.795
Akipambana na huruma kubwa,

00:02:08.795 --> 00:02:11.945
au hali kwenye kitabu inayomfanya
asikie uchungu wa wenzie,

00:02:11.945 --> 00:02:13.855
na mara chache, furaha yao.

00:02:13.855 --> 00:02:18.325
Lauren anaanza safari na kundi la
wakimbizi kutafuta sehemu ya kupumzika.

00:02:18.325 --> 00:02:23.250
Hapo, wanajaribu kuishi kutokana na dini
yake aliyoigundua, mbegu-dunia,

00:02:23.250 --> 00:02:24.830
ambayo inategemea kanuni

00:02:24.830 --> 00:02:28.240
kua binadamu wanatakiwa wafuate
dunia inayobadilika kila mara.

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.710
Safari ya Lauren ina mizizi kwenye
uhalisi wa maisha-

00:02:30.710 --> 00:02:32.950
California Prop 187,

00:02:32.950 --> 00:02:36.950
ambayo ilijaribu kuzuia wahamiaji bila
vibali haki za msingi za kibinadamu,

00:02:36.950 --> 00:02:39.380
kabla ilionekana kutotambulika kwenye
katiba.

00:02:39.380 --> 00:02:42.990
Butler siku zote aliweka habari
zinazoendelea kwenye uandishi wake.

00:02:42.990 --> 00:02:47.360
Kwenye mwendelezo wake mwaka 1998 wa 
"Mithali ya Mpanzi", "Mithali ya Talanta,"

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:49.281
aliandika kuhusu mgombea uraisi

00:02:49.281 --> 00:02:53.591
anayewatawala Wamarekani kwa ukweli
taswira na "mikanda ya umeme."

00:02:53.591 --> 00:02:56.481
Msemo wake? "Fanya Marekani bora tena."

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:56.481 --> 00:02:58.341
Wakati watu wakitambua utabiri wake,

00:02:58.341 --> 00:03:01.661
Butler alivutiwa pia na kufwatilia
tena historia.

00:03:01.661 --> 00:03:03.771
Mfano
"Jamaa" inaelezea hadithi ya

00:03:03.771 --> 00:03:06.171
mwanamke anayerudishwa nyuma
ya muda mara kwa mara

00:03:06.171 --> 00:03:09.241
kwenye shamba la Maryland la mababu zake.

00:03:09.241 --> 00:03:13.771
Mwanzoni, anagundua kwamba kazi yake
ni kuokoa maisha ya mwananume mweupe

00:03:13.771 --> 00:03:15.532
ambae atambaka nyanya yake.

00:03:15.532 --> 00:03:19.662
Asipomuokoa, yeye mweyewe
atasitishwa kuwepo

00:03:19.664 --> 00:03:23.074
Haya matatizo makali yanamlazimisha Dana
kutazama majanga yanayoendelea

00:03:23.074 --> 00:03:26.684
ya utumwa na ubakaji yanayowakabili
wanawake Weusi.

NOTE Paragraph

00:03:26.684 --> 00:03:29.334
Na simulizi zake za wanawake
kuanzisha jumuiya mpya,

00:03:29.334 --> 00:03:31.864
wasafiri wa mda wakishinda
fitina za kihistoria,

00:03:31.864 --> 00:03:33.774
na viumbe tofauti kushabihiana,

00:03:33.774 --> 00:03:38.694
Butler alikuwa na ushawishi wa kushangaza
kwenye umaarufu unaokua wa Afrofuturism.

00:03:38.694 --> 00:03:40.000
Hio ni harakati ya utamaduni

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.820
ambapo waandishi na wasanii Weusi ambao
wanavutiwa na ya nyuma, sasa na ya mbele,

00:03:44.820 --> 00:03:50.200
kutoa kazi zinazojumuisha mazingaombwe,
historia, teknolojia na mengine mengi.

NOTE Paragraph

00:03:50.200 --> 00:03:53.100
Wakati Lauren anakuja kujifunza kwenye
"Mithali ya Mpanzi,"

00:03:53.100 --> 00:03:55.360
"Kila unachogusa unabadilisha.

00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.729
Kila unachobadilisha kinakubadilisha wewe.

00:03:57.729 --> 00:04:01.169
Ukweli pekee usiopinda ni Mabadiliko."
