"\"From Tanzania and Zambia to Ivory Coast and Ghana, belief in witchcraft continues to terrorize women. In Northern Ghana alone there are estimated to be more than 5000 'witches' confined to 'witches' villages'--part sanctuaries, part prison camps. [This film] introduces us to five women who have taken refuge in the Kukuo witches' camp and who represent a cross section of the 'witch' population of Northern Ghana today. It leads us on a step by step journey on how a woman becomes stigmatized as a 'witch.' [The film] makes clear that one cannot successfully attack a phenomenon like witches' camps in isolation but must see them as part of a wider set of beliefs designed to condemn women (especially older women who have lost their economic usefulness) to expendable status in society. The film traces the complex intersection of anthropology, political science and economics, which must come together in any strategy for liberating women in Africa.\"--Container." . . . . .
