"I Be a Witch" is a film based on the life of Ann Foster, an Andover widow tried for witchcraft in the 1692 Witch hysteria, found guilty and jailed (where she died) . The film and a one woman play were written and performed by Lori Prescott Hansen, an Ann Foster descendant, who used court records and documents as source material. See the film, and stay for a Zoom discussion with Lori, Producer Cherie Julander (also a Foster descendant), and director Omar Hansen from Utah and Idaho.
