A&E Biography: St. Francis of Assisi
I purchased this video intending to use it in a college class as an example of renewal movements within the Catholic church which led to outreach and missionary activity. Instead I found during the first 20 minutes repeated images of a scantily-clad contemporary woman wearing a g-string and at one point removing her top. I confess I couldn't watch any more. Francis's visionary experiences were presented as a result of his self-deprivation of food, sleep and long periods of standing up. If I could return this video I would. It was a total waste of money and not up to A&E's usual standards. BUYER BEWARE!
