01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Early one morning in Salem, Massachusetts, Massachusetts in 1692, some young village girls meet in the woods with a Barbadian slave named Tituba. One of the girls, Abigail Williams (Salem witch trials), kills a chicken and drinks the blood, wishing for John Proctor's wife to die. They are discovered by Abigail's uncle, Samuel Parris. As the girls run away, Parris' daughter Betty falls over unconscious.
