Movies and TvShows featuring "battle-of-orleans" theme.

Joan of Arc is a young girl who believes she is chosen by God to lead the French army to victory against the English during the Hundred Years' War. She faces trials, battles, and the ultimate sacrifice for her faith and her country.

Joan the Maid I: The Battles is a biographical drama set in 15th-century France, focusing on the story of Joan of Arc. Joan, a brave and determined young woman, becomes a warrior and fights in battles to defend her country against the British army. The movie explores the complexities of faith, politics, and the tragedy that befalls Joan, who is ultimately martyred for her beliefs.

Writer and historian Dr Helen Castor explores the life - and death - of Joan of Arc. Joan was an extraordinary figure - a female warrior in an age that believed women couldn't fight, let alone lead an army. But Joan was driven by faith and today, more than ever, we are acutely aware of the power of faith to drive actions for good or ill. Since her death, Joan has become an icon for almost everyone: the left and the right, Catholics and Protestants, traditionalists and feminists. But where, in all of this, is the real Joan - the experiences of a teenage peasant girl who achieved the seemingly impossible? Through an astonishing manuscript, we can hear Joan's own words at her trial and, as Helen unpicks Joan's story and places her back in the world that she inhabited, the real human Joan emerges.
