Why Was King James I Obsessed With Witch Trials?

This documentary reconstructs one of the most disturbing witch trials in British history and the child at its centre. It follows nine-year-old Jennet Device, whose testimony helped condemn the accused in the 1612 Pendle trials, against a backdrop of King James I's obsession with witchcraft. The film examines the fear, superstition, and power that fueled the persecution. It is a chilling watch for anyone interested in history, the witch trials, and the darkness of early modern Britain.
