One of the most popular Martyrs of England, Saint Edmund Campion, is here portrayed in an hour long DVD film using simple yet enchanting especially filmed visuals set in Elizabethan England. Produced in 2008/2009, this was the film that set Mary's Dowry Productions off on a rollercoaster through the lives of the Saints and Martyrs to discover and set in stone its style of film-making and catechisis. With it's own powerful and unique atmosphere this film draws you into the heart and mind of Jesuit priest and scholar Fr. 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.
Priced at £12.99.
