My African Family – Season 1

5 x 22 minutes | Drama Series | Canada / Africa

My African Family is a bold, emotionally charged drama that explores the lives of modern Africans in the diaspora torn between tradition and self-liberation. Set in contemporary Canada, the series follows a group of friends whose journeys through love, identity, and belonging reveal the tensions between African cultural expectations and Western ideals of freedom and individuality.

Blending humour, heart, and raw honesty, My African Family captures the beauty and complexity of multicultural life — where family, faith, and friendship are constantly tested. It’s a universal story about resilience, forgiveness, and the search for self in a world that demands you choose between where you come from and who you want to be.

My African Family – The Movie

Based on the drama series, My African Family has been reimagined as a 90-minute feature film, offering buyers and audiences a powerful new way to experience the story. Set in contemporary Canada, the film captures the emotional journeys of African and Caribbean characters caught between the pull of tradition and the pursuit of modern independence.

With its rich storytelling, striking performances, and universal themes of love, identity, and belonging, My African Family delivers a deeply human reflection on what it means to redefine family and freedom in a globalized world. The film version was created to give broader flexibility for broadcasters, streamers, and platforms seeking a self-contained, high-impact narrative that resonates across cultures.
