The Outcasts

Can a dream condemn an innocent woman? Can your destiny be determined by the way a chicken dies? One thousand women in Ghana accused of witchcraft survive in exile camps. Abused and marginalized, they struggle to survive in extreme poverty. With them, hundreds of children live hounded by the same fate. What led them there and what keeps them prisoner?
