I Am Not a Witch

(Rungano Nyoni, 2017)

Postponed

I am not a witch

I Am Not a Witch, the often humorous, slyly feminist debut feature by writer-director Rungano Nyoni, tells the story of an eight-year-old Zambian girl accused of sorcery after a minor accident occurs in her presence. The child is sent to a “witch camp,” where similarly accused women in her region are held captive and forced to perform manual labor, act as tourist attractions, and even use their “power” as needed. (93 mins., DCP)
