Salem is now a quaint little town with beautiful historical buildings of the past but we will never understand the reasoning for these types of haste actions taken place of yesteryear. In this documentary, find out what was the tipping point for the colony’s witch hunt saga and the magnitude of the impact. This terrible game of witch-hunting had turned Salem upside down for years and to this day we remember this grime reality. It was not the first or the last witch hunt of history. We as humans tend to fear the unknown or unseen, but to what ends will we as a society take actions based in soley fear of the unknown? Are fear-based decisions really helpful to society? Will we learn from this or will history repeat itself yet again? As we reflect on the decisions of the past we must never forget the lives taken in which will forever stain our hearts known as the Salem Witch Trials.
