Offering an exciting mix of historical sleuthing and compelling re-creations, this action-packed program investigates the intimate—and often gritty—details of Joan of Arcs life and times and celebrates the popular mythology that surrounds her. Shot on location in France, the DVD traces Joans evolution from rebellious teenager to her military victories over the British to her trial for witchcraft and heresy and her horrifying end as she was burned at the stake. Grades 6 and up. Color and black-and-white. 45 minutes. Cerebellum. ©2011.
