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.
