Celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation with this hour-long documentary that unpacks the lives of three man who were instrumental in the most pivotal moment of Church history. Perfect as a digestible introduction top the Reformation for anyone new to the period. Or anyone wanting to brush up on the Church's past.

John Calvin, Ulrich Zwingli, and Brother Klaus (Niklaus von Fl?e) were three very different men who shaped the Christian faith in Switzerland.

John Calvin was as an intellectual giant of the Reformation, Ulrich Zwingli was a humble priest who brought reform to the church and died in battle, and Brother Klaus was a mystic who left everything to seek God in the wilderness.

With this docu-drama, award-winning filmmaker Rainer W?lde celebrates the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation and the 600th anniversary of the birth of Brother Klaus, Switzerland's most famous saint. In comparing and contrasting these three figures, we see how the practice of the faith changed in Switzerland in the late Middle Ages. These changes would ultimately impact the entire world.
