Discover the man behind the legend in the acclaimed 2003 production, Reluctant Saint: Francis of Assisi. Narrated by Liev Schreiber, this film strips away the romanticized myths to reveal a wealthy playboy and ambitious soldier whose life was turned upside down by a radical encounter with Christ.

Based on the biography by Donald Spoto, this docudrama was filmed on location in the beautiful, sun-drenched hills of Umbria, Italy. It captures the raw intensity of 13th-century Assisi—a world of violence and class struggle—where Francis (voiced by Robert Sean Leonard) shocked his family and the Church by embracing "Lady Poverty." Watch as he trades his fine silks for a beggar’s tunic and begins a revolution of compassion that still resonates 800 years later.
