Rezensionen / Stimmen
Witch Hunt is a deep dive into a particular time and place, and on those terms it is fascinating. Its implications also extend much further. * British Journal of Photography * Witch Hunt skillfully combines the story's disparate elements - religion, colonialism, corruption, and underdevelopment - so that a general audience can understand the events and connect with their devastating repercussions. -- Arturo Soto * VII Foundation *
