Summary Joan of Arc (2018)

The historic story of Joan of Arc, the French teenage farm girl who acted upon divine vision to lead the French army to victory against the invading English in the Hundred Years' War, is told in semi-modernized form.

In 1429, in the midst of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, after England had invaded and subjugated the north of France, a seventeen year old French farm girl named Joan of Arc ("Jeanne d'Arc" in French) received divine visions from Archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine of Alexandria to expel the English and have Charles VII restored as King of France. Despite her youth, sex and complete lack of military experience, she succeeded in persuading Robert de Baudricourt, the garrison captain at the nearby town of Vaucouleurs, for passage to the French Royal Court in exile to speak with Charles VII. Inconceivably, Joan subsequently also succeeded in persuading Charles VII to give her command of his army. With God on her side, Joan led the French forces into battle, paving the way for eventual victory in the war. This movie is one of very few in all of cinematic history to have had Joan of Arc played by an actual teenager. Leading lady Caitlin Deerin was, at the time of filming, exactly the same age Joan of Arc was at the beginning of her mission.
