‘The chicken lived for another day, at least’: Kaja Kraska’s best phone picture

The film-maker captured her striking image while visiting a Tanzanian village healer who diagnoses patients by fair means or fowl

Earlier that day, film-maker Kaja Kraska had accompanied her new friend Muanauru to the market to buy a chicken. Now, it was sitting on Muanauru's head.

It was summer 2020 and Kraska was with her husband, Mateus, in Mambo, a village in Tanzania's Usambara mountains. They create documentaries across the world for their YouTube channel Globstory. After a first Covid lockdown that had confined them to Poland, they decided to visit Tanzania, in part because of its unusual response to the pandemic.
