FILM SYNOPSIS
An alternative universe where witches exist in ostracization is shown through WW2 propaganda and documentary. Witches gain powers through always telling the truth, unacceptable in a society that relies on lying.
Wartime Britain needs witches, so the Government creates a campaign that encourages witches and non-magics to accept their differences and work together. The clips alter with time to show a society that slowly accepts witches, but is being needed the same as being wanted?
