AN DIABHAL INTI (THE DEVIL’S IN HER)
“… a rich, beautiful and affecting piece of filmmaking… Production values this sublime should be the standard for television rather than a rare exception.”
Writer, Director, Co-Producer
Hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women, were persecuted in the witch hunts in Europe and America in the early modern period.
Yet witch trials were rare in Ireland, a culture where ancient beliefs in powerful female archetypes remained. An Diabhal Inti (The Devil’s in Her) explores witchcraft accusations in Ireland, the religious beliefs and social conditions that underpinned them, and tells the stories of those who were persecuted.
