Witch Hunt is a 2019 film directed by Jon Pullman. The film is about allegations of antisemitism within the Labour Party. Pullman stated that he sought to place the allegations in a wider historical context. The film features Jackie Walker, a Jewish Labour Party and anti-racist activist who was investigated by the party twice in 2016 following allegations of antisemitism. Members are suspended during investigations and the second suspension was still in force at the time of the film's release. The films covered some of the same ground as Walker's one woman show, The Lynching, and the television series, The Lobby.
The film premiered at the Palace Cinema, Broadstairs on Sunday, 3 February 2019. A London screening followed on 10 February, followed by a Questions and Answers session featuring Alexei Sayle, Jon Pullman, Jackie Walker and Justin Schlosberg, chaired by Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi.
