Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints S01E05 - Francis of Assisi

In the early 13th century, Francis, once wealthy and frivolous, is transformed by a profound spiritual awakening and a commitment to poverty and service. This transformation is often linked to his experience in war, his time as a prisoner, and a powerful encounter with a crucifix, leading him to renounce his privileged life and embrace a life of simplicity and dedication to the teachings of Jesus.
