Suranne Jones: Investigating Witch Trials

As a non-native English speaker, I will say this documentary gives me an amazing experience of a travel from the European and American witch trails history to the nowadays misogyny. I actually thought that it would be shallow for me because I'm keen on sociology and gender studies and I thought I already knew everything about witches and the trails from an academical perspective. But This documentary really surprised me! It's not only about the trails themselves, but also the internal and essential part hidden behind them which still exists today and will exist tomorrow if we don't know that. For a documentary, this arrangement of contexts make me have an inspiration to dig more in the future and I have to say it's friendly for an ordinary audience and a foreigner.

May I respectfully suggest Suranne watches Lucy Worsleys investigation into the Scottish witch trials. It isn't hard to do some proper research. I struggled to see the point of what Suranne thought she was achieving. Just the same old tropes and the same old stereotypes. No insight into the background of the times, nor an attempt to give those condemned women a voice. Lucy Worsleys documentary can be called an investigation. Those so called witches, innocent, and real people, were tortured to death in their thousands. Who on earth thought some modern woo woo howling and a made up tarot card was an appropriate contribution to Suranne's 'investigation' ?
