Akesi and the Congo River

Akesi and the Congo River is a three-part, animated docu-fiction series following the coming-of-age adventures of Akesi, an 8-year-old Congolese boy struggling with the loss of his brother.

Using a blend of animation and green screens, hosts are able to transport children through the Congo Basin, across the Congo River and through timezones and eras to connect with the country’s culture, no matter where the viewers are based.
