Pretty accurate telling for a movie version, though not complete,
By
This review is from: WITCHES OF SALEM, THE - The Horror and the Hope - VHS RARE - 1972 Witch-hunting film (VHS Tape)
This along with the documentary " Rediscovering America: The Salem Witch Trials" by Johnathan DOnald productions for the Discovery channel, were my two introductions to the Salem Witch Trials in 8th grade. This movie was made in the 70s so the semi cheesyness of the acting can be overlooked as well as not full detail. While this isn't even close to telling the full story, its pretty good for a half hour movie. Definately more accurate than the crucible. The trials are one of the biggest cases of injustice that exists in American History and it shouldn't be overlooked. FOr any history teacher, i'd recommend both of these films... this one and the documentary mentioned... when teaching this topic. It may not be fully in depth but hopefully will encourage students to further research the trials and learn from them. The old saying is true " if we don't learn from the past, we'll be sure to repeat it" The witch hunts have been repeated again and again, most notably, in the McCarthy trials in the 1960's. Lets learn from Salem with an open mind, without any biased opinions of witches, christians, etc. and not repeat what happened in 1692.
