Part II:
We critically use ‘The Witches of Gambaga’ (Fadoa Films 2010) to discuss challenges of using documentary film as activist strategy. The journey behind the film is discussed to highlight the dilemmas and challenges that arise when the interests of ”film production” and ”feminist strategy” embodied in two differently situated African feminist producers are brought together. What are the implications of this experience regarding the ethical questions of identity, organizing, and epistemology?
