“The nkisi has life; if it had not, how could it heal and help people? But the life of an nkisi is different from the life in people.

– Nsemi Isaki, 1900

Another equinox, another release from TMT favorite The Caretaker in his slowly disintegrating six-part series on dementia, Everywhere at the end of time. The first installment, Stage 1, was one of our favorites from last year, and if we know anything, it’s that history favours the winners… and has a troubling way of repeating itself.
