Summary

Over 14,000 children in England have been accused of witchcraft since 2015, with 2,180 cases in the past year alone, according to the National FGM Centre.

The film Kindoki Witch Boy, released on the 25th anniversary of Victoria Climbié’s death, tells Mardoche Yembi’s true story of surviving a childhood exorcism.

Climbié was tortured to death in 2000 after similar accusations. Yembi hopes the film raises awareness and helps victims.
