Dispatches: Return To Africa's Witch Children

Monday, November 23 on 4

A year ago a BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning Dispatches told the story of how children in Africa's Niger Delta were being denounced by Christian pastors as witches and wizards and then killed, tortured or abandoned by their own families. The film forced the Nigerian authorities and the UN to act. Now Dispatches reveals what happened to some of the children and church leaders who originally featured, and discovers that even now children as young as two are still being stigmatised as witches and treated as outcasts.
