Saint Francis of Assisi
The man who married poverty
Sixteen episodes on the merchant's son who stripped naked in the public square, served the lepers, walked unarmed into the camp of the Sultan, received the wounds of the Crucified on a mountain, and died bare on the ground. From the battle of Collestrada to the larks circling the roof of the Portiuncula — the life of the saint told in historical detail and in reverent silence.
