"Three Sovereigns for Sara" originally aired on PBS American Playhouse in 1985. It remains one of the most accurate portrayals of the horrors of the witch hysteria and trials.
Sarah was actually my grandmother (x8 I believe). Vanessa physically resembles my late great aunt. The story is sad, stirs the spirit of advocacy and ultimately Truth prevails.
I saw this miniseries a few years ago (we borrowed the DVD from the library) and was really impressed with how well-made and historically accurate it was. Until today, I had not read Richard Trask's "making of" article (linked above). What a great read!
I am a 8th gg of Mary Townes Easty and I can't wait to watch this as I just found it. I also cannot wait to share with my kids when we work on genealogy together. Thanks

I love hearing from descendants! What an amazing connection. Thank you very much for your comment.

I have the DVD and enjoyed watching the movie. Very accurate based upon my research into my 7th GGF Samuel Wardwell. Hanged Sep 22, 1692.
