Between the 15th and 17th centuries, in an attempt to eradicate the women-based power of midwives, wise old crones and healers, the church and state in Europe cooperated in the torture and execution of thousands of women accused of being witches. The Burning Times trenchantly and movingly explores this dark history, while suggesting that this widespread torture and killing of witches set the stage for modern society's acceptance of violence against women. Amoung the film's participants are teachers, author and witch Starhawk; Matthew Fox, former Dominican priest and leader of the Creation Spirituality movement; and Margot Adler, witch and National Public Radio reporter. 58 min. - - One VIDEO
