A Witch Story

Director: Yolanda Pividal 

Producer: Ruth Somalo & Yolanda Pividal 

Alice is a descendant of Martha Carrier, a woman hanged for witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials. Her research for an upcoming book led her to work with Brooklyn-based feminist guru Silvia Federici and to trace the history of the Great Witch Hunts into our present moment, where patriarchal power-grabs over women continue, as historical perspectives appear to be willfully forgotten. A captivating story at a crossroads were the past collides with the present.

A Documentary with Silvia Federici and Alice Markham-Cantor, scholars and activists focused on the history and contemporary relevance of witch hunts.
