Burning Times, The

Synopsis

An in-depth look at the witch persecutions that swept through Europe a few centuries ago. False accusations and trials led to extensive torture and burning at the stake. The video explores the process whereby the old pagan communities, founded in spirituality and co-operation, were transformed into the misogynists capitalist societies of our own century.
