Culture Clash

Overview

We come face to face with the witchdoctors of Masindi. The schoolchildren are growing up in a melting pot of modern, western and traditional influences - 60% of Ugandans still visit witchdoctors. Mr and Mrs Bagamba watch students learning a traditional 'witchdoctor dance', but for them witchcraft is a means to boosting their fortunes. Head teacher Mr Ntairaho opposes witchcraft, but the school choir's traditional 'witchdoctor dance' is a different story - it's their best chance of winning the District Music Competition and Mr Ntairaho wants to bring the trophy back to school.
