I Am Not a Witch
In this surprisingly original story, we see how following a banal incident in her local village, an 8-year-old girl is accused of witchcraft. After a short trial, she is found guilty, taken into state custody, and exiled to a witch camp. At the camp, she takes part in an initiation ceremony where she is shown the rules surrounding her new life as a witch. Like other residents, she is told that if she tries to escape a curse will fall on her. It is Intriguing and provocative; the perfect mix between comic and tragic.
