Martin Luther's attack on the
all-powerful Catholic Church was a knife to the heart of an empire
that had endured for over a thousand years. Nailing his treatise
to the doors of the Wittenberg Cathedral, this previously obscure
German monk changed the world forever, unleashing forces that
plunged Europe into war and chaos. But Luther would do more than
revolutionize the Church - he offered the Christian world a new
vision of man's relationship with God and, in turn, redefined
man's relationship with authority in general. Filmed across Europe
- from rustic rural Germany to the opulence of Vatican City -
MARTIN LUTHER is the dramatic story of the collapse of the
medieval world and the birth of the modern age. |
