Why tonight?
- A long one. Start it early, and give it the whole evening.
- It goes hard on violence — not a wind-down.
The story
In 1429, a French teenager stood before her King with a message she claimed came from God; that she would defeat the world's greatest army and liberate her country from its political and religious turmoil. As she reclaims God's diminished kingdom, this courageous young woman has various amazing victories until her violent and untimely death.
