Witches of Salem is a searing real-life horror story that still has the power to shock. But more than this, the events have much to tell us about contemporary issues and subject matter that has never been more relevant than today.

Telling the story through the point of view of a handful of key characters, the series explores the themes and issues behind the mass psychosis and panic that spread through Salem and asks what lessons it can teach us about modern day witch hunts and mass hysteria.
