About the show

Neon-lit and razor-edged, Mzansi drops us into a South Africa reimagined — a world of augmented warriors, street prophets and shifting alliances, all fighting for the soul of a city on the brink.

With a completed trailer already turning heads, Mzansi is Digital Characters' answer to prestige animated action: cinematic, morally complex and unmistakably African.
