The African continent has grappled with the production of local content for several years, with most broadcasters opting for the adoption of soaps, dramas and long-form features and series from overseas. It is only recently that audiences, starving for their own stories, have begun to demand local content. The A24 Media series category provides exactly this. Beginning with half-hour International Emmy-nominated documentary series AlJazeera’s Witness and even more enlightening and life-changing serials like Family Doctor, God in Africa and Doctors on Call, the A24 engine of providing relevant and desired content for the African audience has only been oiled.
