“Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire” is an anthology series done completely by African artists, animators, and writers alike. Each episode is a self-contained adventure exploring new fantastical concepts, stunning visuals, and luscious landscapes. It has just recently been released on Disney+ and showcases Afrofuturism to its greatest heights. As of now there are 10 episodes–

“Mkhuzi: The Spirit Racer,” a story about a boy who challenges an alien overlord to a high speed race to save his home from utter destruction.
“Moremi,” a story about a strange scientist who goes across space and time to rescue a spirit from the pantheon of gods.
“Surf Sangoma,” a story about two friends that risk their lives to break the rules and surf gargantuan waves.
“First Totem Problems,” a story about a girl who seeks to obtain a digital totem, leading her to break into the afterlife.
“Mukudzei,” a story about an influencer who is trapped in an utopian future.
“Hatima,” a story of two warring nations of land and sea.
