“MY VILLAGE PEOPLE”: AFRICAN MAGIC IN REAL TIME
It reminds me of the folk stories and graphic descriptions of dominant witchcraft and marine kingdoms that are retold in many African villages. It might bring a little chill and shiver to your spine, just the right amount so you watch without closing your eyes.
