Synopsis
When eight-year-old Shula turns up alone and unannounced in a rural Zambian village, the locals have questions. Their suspicions quickly turn to accusations of witchcraft and Shula is tethered to a ribbon and forced to choose between imprisonment or being turned into a goat. Unless she can manifest a third fate: freedom.
