Belief: The Possession of Janet Moses
Directed by David Stubbs
A sobering documentary investigation into a tragic death that exposes the intersection of mental illness, cultural belief, and family desperation.
This impressive doco disperses the fog of shame and sensationalism to shed light on the tragedy that made international headlines in 2007 when a young Wainuiomata woman died during a mākutu lifting.
