About this listen

Over the past few months, several of our documentaries temporarily disappeared from this channel.

That wasn’t an algorithm issue.

It was the result of an ongoing legal battle over ownership, authorship, and exploitation of African-made crime television — a case now before the courts.

The documentaries are now back on the channel.
We’re asking you to watch, share, and amplify them.

To help people understand what’s really going on, we published a short explainer video:

This is not about creative differences.
It’s about whether African creators can defend their work when powerful interests attempt to take control of it.

To continue this fight properly, we’ve launched a BackaBuddy campaign to help cover ongoing court costs.
So far, R9,187 has been raised — and we’re genuinely grateful.

If you’d like to support the campaign or learn more:

This isn’t behind-the-scenes drama.
It’s about accountability, transparency, and whether stories from this continent can be protected.

Thank you for watching.
Thank you for sharing.
And thank you for standing with us.
