Join Feminist Fightback this March for a screening of I am not a witch (2017, 93min) by Zambian filmmaker Rungano Nyoni.
Exploring Zambia’s little-known culture of “witch camps,” the film masterfully combines comedy, tragedy, and mesmerizing visuals. A portrait of a defiant young girl, I Am Not a Witch mounts an acerbic critique of women’s oppression and corruption through tourism, media and superstition.
Exhibiting anger/ joy during the film at oppressive behaviour/ high points of struggle is very much encouraged.
Drinks and snacks will be available.
All genders welcome.

The film showing will take place on the ground floor of Pelican House, in the room at the back of the courtyard. The toilets are on the same same level. The space and toilets are level access from the road.
