THE CONCEPT

Afro-Man and the Protectors animated series was created for the sole purpose of enlightening and inspiring children. The series chronicles a group of super powered teens who are given the task of protecting the book of knowledge. After taking a trip to Egypt our main character Kofi stumbles upon the book of knowledge, Ausar the guardian of the book endows Kofi with the super powers of AFRO-MAN to protect the book. Kofi quickly recruits a few of his friends and after taking the oath they too were granted super powers. So with the magical words "Knowledge Is Power!" our heroes jump into action. AMG Digital Media Group as a company feels the obligation to keep the children of the world safe. In this animated special Afro-Man and the Protectors tackle child trafficking.

WORDS FROM OUR SUPPORTERS

*DWIGHT RUTLEDGE / THE CHILD AWARE FOUNDATION

"The Child Aware Foundation's core mission is to keep children home. For this reason, we offer our endorsement on the Afro-Man project by AMG Digital Media. Afro-Man presents a message on this serious crime of Child Abduction and trafficking in an entertaining manner. Children and parents need to be Aware of the dangers facing our children and we believe that this education can be presented in many ways and Afro-Man is a medium that will reach children and parents in a positive and informative light."

*TINA G. THORNTON / ADJUNCT PROFESSOR APUS /CPCC

"In my professional opinion, I believe AFRO-MAN would be a great addition to the Saturday morning cartoon set up, by solving most problems with math, science and ancient history. It would be an enjoyable series as well as informative. I’m excited about this new cartoon and would love to see more."
