In certain cultures in Uganda and across Africa, a belief exists where departed husbands return as ethereal entities to engage in intimate encounters with their living partners. To ward off this phenomenon, women are required to perform Enkumbi.
Ugandan presenter Daniel Leinhardt sets out to investigate this belief and its impact, including the role it may play in subjugating women. In a documentary that is complex and certainly not for the faint-hearted, women will share their details of an intimate, secret, often deeply shameful practice.

We hear from couples who see the Enkumbi rituals as something they still must perform, and women who think its old fashioned nonsense but who still harbour the doubt of 'what if it's not?'
Daniel has friends and family who practice and believe in the Enkumbi rituals. As he learns their history he realises that at the heart of this strange story is a serious question. Is this belief system is about subjugating women? In posing this question he meets those fighting for women's rights in the framework of secretive, often ancient belief structures.
