The whole film should be here.

It's a christian propaganda film that spreads the idea that children are often demonic servants of satan. There are scenes of children eating human flesh.

The juju iconography in this scene is important, because the interplay of christianity and indigenous animism in west africa is fascinating. (though they arent technically jujus)

Bad juju has essentially been co-opted by organized crime and is used as intimidation, fanatic crusaders like Helen Ukpabio (should be a tag) love to focus on this and blow it out of proportion.

I had a Cameroonian friend whose brother was murdered by a crime syndicate, and that was clear after talking to him about what had happened, but to him, his brother was killed by witchcraft, which i guess kinda is great shorthand for organized crime.

west africa is fascinating. This find of fanaticism is rare, actually. Generally people believe different parts and pieces from different local animist beliefs and parts of christianity.

it's actually really interesting.

you have disgraced medicine men who the public trusts working for drug dealers and assassins, granting their agenda this dark, supernatural vector so that when anything bad happens, it's witchcraft and not ordinary crime.

it's pretty brilliant, and also terrible.
