"The voice of this one man is able in one hour to put more life in us than 500 trumpets."
In 1559 John Knox returned to Scotland after 10 years' exile. The country faced a religious and political crisis. Protestant power was growing but was not yet strong enough to over-throw the Catholic rulers. Knox provided 'the lion's roar,' and within a year the Reformed faith was established in Scotland.
This film, shot at Edinburgh, Stirling, and in the Kingdom of Fife, is made from Knox's own records.
with Victor Carin as John Knox
