This film blew my mind. I don't understand people who thought it was a comedy. To me, this was such a tragic film showing the treatment of girls and women in Africa and the abuses of power. The whole concept of witches was so bizarre but clearly just a way for people to take advantage of these women. They were basically taken prisoners and made slaves of the state!
The fact that tourists were taken to see the witches and pay to see them was just mind-boggling, plus the fact that they were used to decide who was guilty of crimes... I was in shock for most of the film. The little girl was clearly traumatized from the start and became more and more traumatized as she was used for other people's purposes rather than going to school where she belonged.
All the actresses were amazing. I liked how some of the adults tried to take care of the little girl to the best of their ability.
