- (Disappearing World series) To the Azande of Africa, there is no such thing as bad luck. All misfortune results from witchcraft. This tribe depends on oracles to explain events and predict the future. Shows a trial of a couple accused of adultery. They deny the charge but their fate will be determined by whether a ritually poisoned chicken will live or die. Here is a Christian tribe where the priest must share his influence with the witchdoctor.
