Ведьмы
Devil
Фильм состоит из 7 частей. Некоторые из них являются чисто документальными, некоторые чисто игровыми, некоторые сочетают элементы обоих жанров. Издревле люди пытались объяснить непонятные им явления вмешательством злых и добрых высших сил, так появилась вера людей в бога и дьявола. В Средние века массовое помешательство на охоте на ведьм достигло апогея – быть старой и страшной или молодой и красивой считалось достаточным основанием для обвинения в колдовстве и сговоре с Дьяволом.
