Primary

The film's central critique of McCarthyism and political paranoia, framed as a "witch hunt" against a marginalized group, aligns with left-leaning concerns about civil liberties and government overreach, despite its individualistic noir solution.

The 1994 film 'Witch Hunt' features a cast with visible diversity, including a Black actress in a supporting role, without explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white characters. Its narrative uses an allegorical 'witch hunt' against magic users to critique societal paranoia, offering a subtle commentary on power dynamics rather than an explicit negative portrayal of traditional identities or central DEI themes.

Secondary
