Papua New Guinea: Bush Knives and Black Magic

Channel 4

Unreported World

Go to About Section

Unreported World travels to Papua New Guniea, where reporter Ramita Navai and director Katherine Churcher investigate the brutal phenomenon of witch hunting that is undergoing a dramatic resurgence in one of the most isolated places on earth.


Victims are burnt at the stake; stoned; slashed and even buried alive. Nearly all of the victims are women, and their attackers are rarely punished.


"A tantalisingly brief visit to the wild, mountainous interior of a country where, we are told ominously, witch-hunts are undergoing a massive resurgence"
- The Observer


"You don't see this on Tribe"
