\\u2018It\\u2019s a life or death acusation which can be based on as little as someone has a dream about you, it\\u2019s a bad dream they dream they\\u2019re chasing them and then they wake up and they\\u2019re like - you must be a witch, why were you in my dream?\\u2019 - Rungano Nyoni

In this film Nyoni\'s has created an impressive drama which tells the tale of superstition in a small Zambian community\\u2026we follow the young girl Shula played by Maggie Mu-lubwa who is accused of being a witch.
