Edmund Campion, whose memorable journey saw him stir up the Protestant forces that were trying to crush the Catholic Church and the English people in the Island of Saints during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.  From Oxford, through Ireland, France and Rome, Saint Edmund Campion dons his disguises and sneaks back into the country for an intense and dramatic battle of the wits and a determined fight for souls.  Finally captured and cast into the infamous Tower of London, his former friend the Queen of England signs his death warrant and he is hanged, drawn and quartered at the terrible triple gallows of Tyburn.  Original portrayals run beneath a moving original soundtrack and absorbing narration that makes this a unique encounter with one of our finest English Martyrs - Saint Edmund Campion.
