Martin Luther

Just watched the movie Martin Luther with the teenage kids here at La Senda.  It's well done, and it gives a good picture of Martin Luther's heart to find truth and be able to share that truth--Jesus--with the common people.  The kids were intrigued by it.  They've studied Luther, so they are familiar with the story.  What most impressed them were the extremes--the colleague of Luther who turned his ideas into blood by physically attacking worshippers at Catholic churches (not Luther's intent), the priest who resorted to extreme emotional appeals (fallacies, really) to get people to give money to the church, ultimately resorting to crudeness. 

I'd recommend it.  It's PG-13.
