Women Not Witches

Beaten and burned alive, 38-year-old wife and mother Mogl miraculously survived a physical torture by her community in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Her alleged crime: witchcraft. Superstitious murders against women have long persisted in this developing Asia-Pacific nation and on average, human rights organisations evacuate 15 victims weekly. But now Mogl is fighting hard for justice. By pursuing a case against her perpetrators, she wants to set the first successful precedent for sorcery-related crimes in her country. Can she win against longstanding beliefs, and how? Get Real follows the life of Mogl; meets her torturer; and speaks to a witch doctor. Get Real, Channel NewsAsia’s award-winning investigative documentary series, returns with more stories revealing the uncomfortable reality in Asia.
