The History Department and the Human Context of Science and Technology Program will host a screening and discussion with Dr. Bonneau of The VVitch, a film set in 1630s New England. In the film, panic and despair envelop a farmer, his wife and their young children when their youngest son Samuel suddenly vanishes. The family blames Thomasin, the oldest daughter who was watching the boy at the time of his disappearance. With suspicion and paranoia mounting, twin siblings Mercy and Jonas suspect Thomasin of witchcraft, testing the clan's faith, loyalty and love to one another.
Masks are required for this event.
