Show Info

Written and directed by Joanna Carrick

With Christopher Ashman, Nadia Jackson, Vincent Moisy, and Rei Mordue

“It’s an apocalyptic fight for God, and it’s a fight that we must win.”

1645. A dark shadow is spreading across England with suspicions of witchcraft on the rise.

In the remote village of Mistley, Susan Edwards, step-sister of self-proclaimed Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins, has a choice to make. Does she remain rational in a community torn apart by fear, intolerance, and hysteria or become seduced by the idea that her baby’s death was caused by witches controlled by Satan?
