'The Crucible' - witchcraft and Communism
Through discussion and use of clips, Arthur Miller explores the audience reception to 'The Crucible'. He explains the link between witchcraft and communism, both of which evolved around subversion, had strong leadership, had secret members and were perceived as a threat to Christian civilisation. This is exemplified further through the use of clips, both from 'The Crucible' (1980 大象传媒 archive) and from live coverage of the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) hearing.
