The priest who got burned at the stake for saying mass should be... understandable? Radical.
A faithful recounting of the ministry, trial and martyrdom of the fifteenth century Bohemian priest John Hus, who built on the reforms of John Wycliffe, taught the Bible in the vernacular and who influenced Martin Luther a century later.
Acting
Rod Colbin's quiet dignity sells the impossible stakes.
Production
Shoestring budget that somehow makes Constance feel claustrophobic.
Writing
Dialogue pulls directly from trial records — history wrote the script.
Director
Michael Economou
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hus became a Czech national hero; his followers, the Hussites, launched five crusades against them — the Pope kept losing.
Martin Luther allegedly discovered he was walking in Hus's footsteps only AFTER starting his own reforms — history's accidental sequel.
