This short film was created during a storyboarding exercise and is one of the first collaborative group projects completed. It was shot entirely on the Flip video camera. Alluspa King Jr., who plays the cripple in the film, suffered from polio as a child. He shares stories of being accused of causing bad luck and being a witch when he was younger. This theme is revisited in a later film produced by the team titled Charity.

Included is a collection of Flip cam footage from the first day of WeOwnTV's August 2009 workshop in Lunghi, Sierra Leone. For a majority of the participants, this was first time they had ever held a camera of any kind. Fueled by the new medium, creativity began to flow. No sound or narration was added in post (with the exception of opening music); all voiceover comedy was performed live by the student filmmakers.
