In another part of the region, a witch-hunt survivor, banished from her own village for over 10 years, prepares to reclaim her life lost in superstition. Witch-hunt Diaries is the story of these two women, caught in a terrifying, medieval ritual that claims over a hundred lives in India every year. As the film moves between a murder investigation and a real-time rehabilitation, it takes the viewers into a secret world, where centuries-old belief systems continue to be sacred. It reveals a land of magic and mystic rituals - where sorcerers cast spells, deities possess devotees, and witchdoctors turn into witches. It also sets up a clash of 2 worlds - where science often collides with the supernatural, and the rationalist questions the believer. Undercover Asia - Channel News Asia's award-winning investigative series returns for a third season to expose the secret underbelly of Asia. Through in-depth, hard-hitting documentaries that explore untold stories of crime, violence and injustice lurking within the hidden fabric of our own societies! As part of this series, Witch-hunt Diaries journeys into the heart of darkness and intrigue to reveal the sins, sorcery and superstition of India's witch-hunts. See less
