Fatima Sesay oo ka tirsan "Sahara Reporters" ayaa tiri; ""November Madow" wuxuu sheegayaa sheekada dhabta ah ee musuqmaasuqa iyo xeeladaha hunguriga ah ee ay adeegsadaan shirkadaha saliida ee kala duwan iyo dowladda Nigeria si ay u qariyaan runta ku saabsan saliida ku daatay Niger Delta, halka ay ka helayaan lacag aad u badan dhoofinta waxa run ahaantii iska leh muwaadiniinta Nigeria. Nasiib darro, dadka ugu badan ee ay saameeyeen faaruqinta ma helaan wax abaalmarin ah xanuunkooda awgiis". Amata ayaa wareysi uu bixiyay ku sheegay in ujeedada filimka uu yahay "in la iftiimiyo caddaalad darrada iyo xaaladda bani'aadamnimada ee Niger Delta", wuxuu kaloo yiri "Haddii BP lagu qasbi karo inay magdhow siiso dadka Gacanka Mexico, maxay dunidu uga dhigi weyday shirkadaha saliida ee wasakheeya dhulkeenna inay wax ka beddelaan? Waxaan la kulannay shilal baaxad wayn oo la mid ah kuwii Exxon Valdez.
50 sano, weli qofna kama hadlo, ilaa iyo inta ay ka faa'iideysanayaan saliida". Soo saaraha filimka Dede Mabiaku ayaa sheegay in "November Black" uu yahay "filim indhaha furaya oo sabab u leh" kaas oo uu sheegay inuu awood u leeyahay inuu ku dhiirrigeliyo dadka inay u dagaallamaan nadiifinta degdegga ah ee Niger Delta. "The Guardian" ayaa leh; "Filimka Amata wuxuu miisaamayaa taariikhda 50-ka sano ee ka faa'iideysiga galbeedka ee kheyraadka saliida ee delta, isfahamka maxalliga ah iyo iska caabinta rabshadaha leh ee ka dhanka ah".
