A Red Rebel Films production

After meeting Gary Foxcroft of Stepping Stones Nigeria RedRebel realized there was no time to waste. Knowing this film had to be made, they went to the Niger Delta without a commission and spent three weeks filming in this dangerous area. When shown the footage, Channel 4 believed in this film from the start. OSF came in to budget and executive produce and the rest is history. This film together with CRARN and Stepping Stones’s work has resulted in the Child Rights Act being enacted in Akwa Ibom. It is now illegal to stigmatise a child as a witch, and many abusive preachers have been arrested.
