Ursula Kemp: Five Centuries of History*
(Headgate Theatre)

GB TVM 2012. Fade to Black. 50m.

Documentary with brief reconstruction scenes covering the story of a famous convicted Essex witch whose bones were unearthed and exploited by museums and art collectors before being brought back to St. Osyth to a rightful place of burial.
Carefully crafted and quite interesting compilation, which does have the documentarian's misfortune to discover the truth about its subject half-way through the course of making the film, but still lands on its feet.

Produced and Narrated by: John Worland.
