Summary: The Burning Times explores a phenomenon that until recently has curiously remained unexamined: the great witch craze that swept through Europe only a few centuries ago. This riveting film explores many factors that led to this "women's holocaust," and points out how its effects can be seen today in widespread violence towards women and neglect of our environment.
