The documentary film ''The Child witches of Africa''.

The film is about some of the Christian churches in Akwa Ibom in Nigeria where the adults think that their children are possessed by the devil. The families blame the children for the sickness, devastation and death and the closest family will abandon, torture or murder their children in the name of God if the children do not confess that they are a witch or a wizard. Also, the powerful priests in the churches will torture the children until they confess to something they are not.

The documentary tells about a 5-year-old girl called Mary, who is accused of being the devil himself. When she went to visit her family, her family did not want to see her.
An English man called, Gary Foxcroft, helps Mary and she moved into the centre CRARN where Sam Itauma would take care of her. Sam and his people are working hard to help the children who are accused of being a witch or a wizard. The children arrive with serious wounds when they come to the CRARN centre, because only a few clinics and hospitals want to help possessed children.

The documentary film shows a man called, Sunday Ulup-Aya, he calls himself a “bishop”. He has made a fortune on exorcism and on killing over 100 children who was innocent. The price is 170 pounds and he will keep the child until the poor parents pay. He seems proud of what he does for a living. The film shows the bishop trying to make an accused little boy go spiritually blind so he cannot see the witch world again. He made the boy a drink, containing pure alcohol, African Mercury and the bishop's own blood.

All this happens because the African people want to blame someone, anyone, for the death, sickness and devastation in their country or city. The easiest thing to do would be blaming the helpless children, but this is not the children’s fault. International experts confirm that the reason is the big oil industry that is causing the earth – and air pollution and making the people sick. But anyway, the people still think that it is the child witches and not the oil-industry that is causing all this.
