Coming From America, Africa Here We Come

Three unique families uproot their lives in America and move to Africa. All have different goals, but each hopes to fulfil their dreams of a better life in the motherland. Some are prepared, but others are in for some often-hilarious surprises.

Restless children, anxious parents, and unexpected visitors often add comic twists to each family's African adventure. New foods, new friends, and exotic sights and sounds make everyone question if they can adjust, and call this new land home.

Africa's searing climate proves it's not for the fainthearted. Power outages dampen spirits but not the determination to conquer fears and overcome challenges. Tensions rise as money becomes an issue, and each family must face their own obstacles.

The families go beyond the African city limits, experiencing lush rural landscapes, and visiting a tribal village. This trip provides a breath of fresh air, spiritual awakenings and comic fish-out-of-water moments for the ex-pats.

A colourful ceremony bestows new African names upon one family as they begin planning for a promising African future. Tough talks, long walks, and surprising decisions make everything seem like it's finally coming together.

Africa is not as cheap as they'd expected, but each family is inspired to find ways to stay in the motherland. They've made connections and friendships that are too strong to let go of, and are determined to plant deeper roots -- no matter what it takes.
