I interview HOOD WITCH writer/director Said Belktibia about his new thriller, which sees Golshifteh Farahani play the target of a literal witch hunt through urban France. She makes a living selling mystical products and alternative healing remedies and after one of her clients dies by suicide, is accused and then chased by the mob. Now, she, along with her teenage son, need to escape the city before it's too late.

Belktibia and I spoke, with the help of a translator, about our increasingly global society, the responsibility required of each individual to examine and critique the messages received in modern media, Farahani's brilliance as an actress and human, and much, much more.
