Perspective Film Series Presents: I Am Not a Witch, Dir. Rungano Nyoni
This month’s perspective introduces audiences to ideas of spirituality that are often viewed with hesitation or fear within Western ideologies. Presented as majoritively satirical, this film questions the power of and control over children, the notions of female agency, and the abuse of influence.
At the same time, as Canada is a nation that is in the process of learning to understand Indigenous spirituality, we encourage viewers to consider approaching global notions of indigeneity. How do indigenous nations around the world develop relationships to their environments? How do they respond to outside influence? How have western biases influenced how we perceive indigenous beliefs beyond our own regions and treaties?
