Witch Hunt (2008)

Director: Don Hardy Jr. Dana

Cast: Sean Penn, Jackie Cummings, Jack Cumming

You find it hard-to-believe that, at times, world is full of stupidity and Pomp beyond imagination? Watch this!!

One of The most hard-hitting and unbelievable documentary which accounts of the events in American county of Bakersfield in1980’s to present decade.

The newly appointed District Attorney goes all out on a blind and scandalous arrest spree plus convictions, which are based on nothing but some partial and tampered facts gathered by an overtly enthusiastic social workers group, clearly lacking in any professional training.

At the core of the movie are the parents of young children labeled as pedophiles.

These true events and publicity changed the mindset of America in a big way then.

And the irony is culprit is still at loose, not just loose but in an esteemed government position-which I am sure most of us will relate to easily. As there is corruption in some form everywhere.

One might argue this is only telling the one side of the story but if you watch it attentively,your argument will fail. Especially because the real culprits chose not to be part of movie citing some other commitments.There presence would have clarified things even more and helped a few more.

The fact a guy had to serve a term of 20 years (! ) and many others a little less plus some are still uncleared and some have died convicted as molesters for no clear fault of their own, shock you far more than any blood-gore movie.

The emotions can not be acted out like this unless they are for real.
