Discovery en Español presents Caza de Brujas en San Antonio (1×60’), the Spanish version of Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four, a one-hour documentary that narrates the case of four Latina lesbians who were wrongfully convicted of aggravated sexual assault and indecency against two young girls in San Antonio, TX over 20 years ago.
The program will premiere on U.S. Hispanic television on Sunday, November 13th at 9pm E/P on Discovery en Español during Discovery a Fondo, the network’s popular programming block dedicated to current affairs.
Critically acclaimed at film festivals, Caza de Brujas en San Antonio, begins its journey inside a Texas prison, over a decade after Elizabeth Ramírez, Cassandra Rivera, Kristie Mayhugh, and Anna Vasquez (labeled the San Antonio Four), were sentenced to 37 and 15 years in prison. None of the women ever took a plea bargain or ever considered it, and always maintained their innocence. In 2012 and 2013, they were finally liberated after one of the accusers recanted her statement and forensic evidence used in the case was debunked.
Caza de Brujas en San Antonio is produced by Motto Pictures and Naked Edge Films with Deborah S. Esquenazi as director and Sam Tabet as producer.
