Janet Moses
Description
In 2007, 22-year-old mother of 2 Janet Moses began experiencing a mental health crisis. She and her family believed she had been hit with a curse, and they attempted a traditional Maori ceremony to lift the curse. Janet did not survive and her family’s beliefs were put on trial.
