Komona, a girl in Sub-Saharan Africa, tells the story to her unborn child about her kidnapping by rebels and forced to join their bloody civil war. When she discovers a valuable intuition about the presence of the enemy, she is elevated as a witch and favored by the rebel leader. However, this special status threatens to be short-lived in this world of superstition and senseless brutality even as the ghosts of the war dead haunt her visions.

Leave your thoughts about War Witch.
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonBrutal without turning exploitative, the result is harrowing and heartbreaking. |
| Bloomberg NewsGreg EvansAs a 12-year-old African village girl kidnapped by rebels and forced into brutality, Mwanza guides the audience through a nightmare beyond most comprehension. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneAlison GangNguyen creates a mesmerizing tone through his camerawork, editing, sound and the infusion of African folk imagery and ritual, but it's Mwanza's performance as Komona that makes "War Witch" feel so miraculous. |
| Times-PicayuneMike ScottFeels startlingly real and inherently relevant, a shining, sterling example of cinema at its most powerful and urgent. |
