Ep. 044 - THE LAST WITCH with Annika Hylmö

Bree is joined in the virtual studio by Annika Hylmö, documentarian and director of the forthcoming film THE LAST WITCH. The film tells the story of a Massachusetts middle school Civics class and their campaign to secure exoneration for the last unpardoned victim of the Salem witch trials, Elizabeth Johnson Jr. It’s a poignant story about history, connection, and why seeking justice matters, even when it comes three hundred years late. Also discussed are the historical circumstances surrounding the Salem witch panic and how the twin specters of bullying and rumor-mongering haunt our communities today just as much as they did in 1692.

Make sure you follow THE LAST WITCH on Instagram for updates and check out the full project details on their website. Additional media and articles on the documentary and the campaign to pardon Elizabeth Johnson Jr. are in the full show notes on my Wordpress.

I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to Annika and her producer Dawn Green for helping me produce this episode, and I hope that it helps to bring more visibility to the project.
