[edit] Information

In the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, this documentary examines the life of Martin Luther and the profound impact his ideas had on the course of Western history. In 1517, power was in the hands of the few, thought was controlled by the chosen, and common people lived lives without hope. Then a penniless monk named Martin Luther sparked the revolution that would change everything. On 31 October 1517, Martin Luther posted his now-famous diatribe denouncing the corruption of the medieval world's largest and most powerful institution - the Catholic Church. His forerunners had been burned alive for similar statements, but Luther had a new tool at his disposal - the recently invented printing press. Against all odds, a lonely outcast stood up to the world's dominant superpower, and won. It was a battle of ideas that formed Western society as we know it today, sparking the rise of individualism, universal education, religious freedom and new roles for church and state. Narrated by Hugh Bonneville (Downtown Abbey), the film brings to life the great adventure story of Luther's struggle. Undoubtedly, Martin Luther was one of the last most influential and interesting people of the last millennium. The film vividly portrays the key moments in his story: the massive lightning storm that nearly killed him, the bleak self-punishment of his time in the monastery, the corruption that unleashed his anger, the theological breakthrough that reset Christian thought, his trial before the most powerful man in Europe, the staged kidnapping that helped him escape the death penalty, and his ongoing drive to reform the church. Directed by David Batty ; Produced by Boettcher/Trinklein Television Inc.
