The Witch-Doctor

BBC One
on BBC One London

An enquiry by Dr. Stephen Black.
How successful are the African witch-doctors in treating mental and physical illness? Do they use science or magic?
An on-the-spot investigation in which Dr. Stephen Black probes the methods of the witch-doctors in Nigeria. For centuries they have used drugs only recently introduced into western medicine: yet even today some chain and shackle their patients as if they were animals.
