Kindoki Witch Boy (2024)

A contemporary 45' drama about a young boy accused of being a witch. The film is set in North London, closely based on the real-life account of Mardoche Yembi, produced in partnership with Copenhagen Youth Project (CYP). Mardoche (12), a Congolese-heritage boy and talented footballer, is accused of being a witch by an Evangelical Christian pastor. The pastor convinces Mardoche's entire family to turn on him. They make his life hell, accusing him of flying around at night causing widespread harm to the people closest to him, blaming him for their poverty and medical problems. He is isolated, alone and scared. Mardoche is rescued by an African foster mother in Finsbury Park. She is the first person he can confide in, and the first person to give Mardoche the love and support he desperately needs and craves. Remarkably, he survives and tells his story.
