Synopsis:

Why have we come to revere Francis of Assisi, a simple 13th-century Italian merchant's son, as a saint? This meditation on the saint's life cuts through pious legend to uncover what is true about him. This work presents an image of a man whose power is found in humility, whose radical casting aside of wealth, honour and even personal identity is inseparable from his overwhelming intimacy with God, the enigmatic "Most Low."
