Accusations of witchcraft are not limited to poor, elderly women living in far-flung corners of Ghana. In November 2010, the Ghanaian public was horrified to see front-page pictures of an elderly woman in Tema who had been burnt to death for being a witch. One of the people accused of being complicit in her death is an evangelical preacher; I cannot help but wonder how many other women have died in the face of such accusations.<\/p>\n<p>At 10am on Tuesday, 15<sup>th<\/sup> February 2011, \u2018The Witches of Gambaga\u2019 will be screened at the British Council in Accra.

Made over the course of 5 years, this disturbing expose is the product of a collaboration between members of the 100 strong community of &#8216;witches&#8217;, local women&#8217;s movement activists and feminist researchers, united by their interest in ending abusive practices and improving women&#8217;s lives in Africa. Painful experience and insight combine to generate a uniquely intimate record of the lives of women ostracized from their communities. Told largely by the women themselves, their incredible stories and struggles are rendered comprehensible to a wide range of audiences by the director\u2019s narration.
