African Skies is a drama show about 2 teenagers: 1 white, and 1 black teen living in a post-Apartheid South Africa. A kid named Rory lives with his mother, and his dad runs a clinic far away. This makes the kids go through a lot of wild adventures while unintentionally putting themselves in jeopardy or trouble.
Availability
There are only 4 episodes that survived: 2 being found in Series 1, which are "Wild Child" and "The Rainmaker", and 1 & 1/2 are found in Series 2: "The One Who Got Away (Spanish Dubbed)" and "Diamonds Aren't Forever". The show is also dubbed in French, Spanish, and English. A user on Reddit named r/darkoneisrising has found a sale on eBay but it has now been sold out. On May 15th, 2024, a YouTuber by the name of "Freelight's Lost and Found" has gotten 3 more lost episodes.
On June 10, 2024, the actor who played Rory in the series sent a VHS to YouTuber Freelight Lost and Found that contained episodes of the series. The actor claims that they had sent most of the episodes from the series, namely "Romeo and Jambele", "Wildlife", "Rites of Passage", and "Cruel to Be Kind."
On August 8, 2024, Freelight confirmed he was finally able to contact the executive producer of the series Seaton McLean, who gave the go-ahead to upload the series to YouTube. An official account for African Skies has been created and the whole series has been digitalized and is set to be uploaded.
