The King’s War on Witches

In the late 16th century Europe was in the grip of a ferocious witch hunt, where thousands were tortured and burnt at the stake. The church was fully behind this terrifying crusade against the imaginary enemies of Christianity. In France and Germany alone up to 40,000 people may have been killed as witches. But England and Scotland were almost untouched by witch persecutions until King James himself decided to launch his own, personal war on witchcraft.

Directed by Mark Fielder, The King’s War on Witches brings together a talented cast and crew to deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience. With a runtime of 60 minutes, this documentary promises to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative and stunning visuals.
