I Am Not a Witch
Streaming video - 2017
In her **BAFTA** award-winning debut feature, Rungano Nyoni crafts a satiric feminist fairy-tale set in present-day Zambia. When 9-year old orphan Shula is accused of witchcraft, she is exiled to a witch camp run by Mr. Banda, a corrupt and inept government official. As the only child witch, Shula quickly becomes a local star and the adults around her exploit her supposed powers for financial gain. Soon she is forced to make a difficult decision – whether to resign herself to life on the camp, or take a risk for freedom. Winner, Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer, **BAFTA Awards**. Nominated for a Golden Camera at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Nominated for Best International Film at the **Film Independent Spirit ...Awards**. *"Nyoni is clearly confident in her vision and the story she wants to tell, and in her capable hands, the result is spellbinding." - Katie Rife, **AV Club***
