SOUTHWEST OF SALEM: THE STORY OF THE SAN ANTONIO FOUR Feature Documentary

Description

The San Antonio Four, a group of Latina lesbians, were sent to prison after being found guilty of sexually abusing two young girls. The film looks at how racism, homophobia and class bias — as opposed to hard evidence — contributed to their conviction, and how “Satanic Panic” alleging witchcraft and child sexual abuse continues to impact innocent victims. — Mark Page
