Your chance to talk about what's going on in Salem - and to do it in Salem, while it goes on.

Told from the perspective of a returning native, WITCH CITY is an uncompromising documentary about Salem, Massachusetts, a town that put the phrase "witch hunt" into the American vocabulary and a place where today a Disneyesque version of history serves the purposes of both commercial and religious interests. Filmmaker Joe Cultrera returns home to find a place where the historical facts are sensationalized for the benefit of T-shirt hawkers and wax museum owners. New Age Wiccans (witches) make the pilgrimage to Salem, and evangelical Christians use street theater to wage a fire and brimstone war against them. WITCH CITY is a cautionary tale about the consequences of manipulating historical facts for present-day gains.
