The Witches of Gambaga. The banished women in Ghana
In Northern Ghana it takes little more than an accusation and a dubious ceremony to establish that a woman is a witch.
The result is devastating: they are expelled from their communities and with nowhere else to turn, must take refuge in the 'witches' camps'.
Painful experience and insight come together to create an intimate record of the lives of women ostracized from their communities. Their incredible stories bring home the astonishing reality of modern day witches.
