Witch follows the 21st Century formation of WE INTEND TO CAUSE HAVOC (W.I.T.C.H.), Zambia’s most popular rock band of the 1970s, and documents the life of its lead singer, Jagari (an Africanisation of "Mick Jagger").
Through the resurrection of a music that was forgotten by many and unheard by most, Witch: We Intend to Cause Havoc explores the life of a former African rockstar and the excitement around the rediscovery of his music by a new generation of Western fans. Following Jagari's life from his birth in a mud-hut village through to his Zambian superstardom in the 1970s while playing the band's unique blend of heavy psychedelic rock and African rhythms, the film then delves into his private life as an arrest and prison sentence in the '90s turned him into a religious devotee and a miner.
But then, thanks to the film's events and collaborators, he would perform in front of adoring crowds on his first ever European tour in 2017, 40 years after his last album was released.
Coming soon.
