Must-watch trailer: Tiek Tok Boem!, an explosive doccie on Afrikaans TikTok

Showmax has just released the trailer for Tiek Tok Boem!, an explosive Showmax Original documentary set to premiere on 18 February 2025. This eye-opening 90-minute documentary takes a deep dive into the world of Afrikaans TikTokers who are pushing the platform to new – and often disturbing – levels. When most people think of TikTok, they picture fun dance challenges, viral memes, and endless laughs. But those days are over. A new wave of Afrikaans TikTokers is now dominating the local scene with their so-called “Drama Lives.” Some say ruling it, while others argue they’re ruining it. These live streams are far from your typical fun and games: they’re filled with cyberbullying, substance abuse, violence, explicit language, and, on occasion, even flushing your ex’s ashes down the toilet. Sadly, these chaotic broadcasts have already led to live-streamed suicide attempts.

In an interview with PLATINALINE, Graciano Damásio shared his vision for this new chapter of his career, promising to bring a more mature and versatile sound, where the central theme will be, of course, love, but with nuances that go beyond the simple declaration of feelings. “Aliança is a song about love, I tried to bring more poetry and I was very careful with the message, so that it wouldn’t be just another disposable song. We always hope in God and we want things to go well ,” he said. The new song, which promises to win the hearts of fans, presents a deeper poetic dimension and a high level of sophistication.
