What Witch Hunt Is About
A child abuse panic broke out in Bakersfield in the 1980s and the town sent its own neighbours to prison. The documentary follows how working class mothers and fathers were convicted of crimes that never happened, how some of them were cleared years later, and how the prosecutor’s office that won those convictions stayed exactly where it was. Among them is John Stoll, tried on the testimony of his own son. Sean Penn is both executive producer and narrator. Don Hardy Jr. and Dana Nachman use one county’s file as a mirror held up to power without oversight.
