Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Passion of Joan of Arc
The teenage Joan of Arc is tried in a French court for her belief that God speaks to her directly. She is interrogated by priests and sent to jail and is denied the right to attend Mass on Sunday. Joan is offered communion if she will recant or will suffer death by burning at the stake if she perpetuates these beliefs.
--Sara Embrey, Resident Scholar
