When eight-year-old Shula turns up alone and unannounced in a rural Zambian village, the locals are suspicious. A minor incident escalates to a full-blown witch trial, where she is found guilty and sentenced to life on a state-run witch camp. There, she is tethered to a long white ribbon and told that if she ever tries to run away, she will be transformed into a goat. As the days pass, Shula begins to settle into her new community, but a threat looms on the horizon. Soon she is forced to make a difficult decision-whether to resign herself to life on the camp, or take a risk for freedom.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Tragic and moving submitted by 21621032124198 on December 13, 2020, 9:03am This film took me by surprise; I was mystified and frightened. Shula is a beautiful little girl surrounded by ignorance intolerance, and tragically disappointing adults. I highly recommend this story.
