Archeologists Investigate The Knights Templar In America

This is an extraordinary story of the most disturbing witch trial in British history and the key role played in it by one nine-year-old girl. Jennet Device, a beggar-girl from Pendle in Lancashire, was the star witness in 1612 in the trial of her own mother, her brother, her sister and many of her neighbours; thanks to her chilling testimony, they were all hanged. Although the events in this film may date back four hundred years, its issues resonate today as much as ever - when to believe our children, and how, in times of crisis, fear of evil can easily lead us to behave in ways which may corrode the very values that we most wish to protect.Presented by Simon Armitage - poet, playwright and novelist - this film is peppered with his revealing insights into the characters' emotional turmoil and cutting-edge use of animation, bringing this courtroom drama to life.
