Faces of Joan

Each of the following short video essays presents a different narrative of Joan of Arc's story. The aim of each video is to present the narrative from the perspective of someone who embraces each particular narrative, told from that specific point of view. Each is edited accordingly for historical accuracy, but is meant to tell her story in each of four very particular ways.

The Saint: A Martyr on a Mission from God

"Hold the cross higher
that I might see it through the flames."

The Heretic: Guided by Delisional Beliefs

"There are a thousand ways a sword might end up in a field, and you chose a pillar of light dropping one from the sky."

The Hero: Uniting France for Her King

"The illustrious Joan of Arc has proved that there is no miracle that the French genius cannot work when national independence is threatened."

The Feminist: A Woman Refusing to Conform

"Now is the time for the women of this country to buckle on the armour that can best resist the weapons of the enemy, ridicule and holy horror."
