    Be patient! Past the bad opening lies a great film.

    The first 30 minutes of this extraordinary film are almost unwatchable. It's full of dark scenes: not just nighttime scenes, they are nighttime scenes poorly lit and poorly photographed. But I'm sure glad I let it play. White Shadow is a great film.

    White Shadow is a portal into a world where witches wield real power-a world of poverty and brutality-in the southern hemisphere, on the southeast coast of Africa, in a village in Tanzania.

    The film script and dialog are superb. White Shadow also has some beautiful cinematography. Some of the intimate scenes between the children are tender and stunning. The documentary-style handheld camera is powerful.
