I missed that - whats it about? Is it on catch up on Virgin?

[Blackhorse]

It was about how christian (using this term loosely here) pastors are branding children as witches....these children are then taken to the church to get the bad spirits out of them - charging the parents a fortune as well - and if the pastor says it didnt work the children are cast out of there families and communities. tortured and/or killed by parents/pastors/people in the community

I couldnt watch the rest of the program last night.....

it should come onto channel 4 OD soon I guess
