Joan the Woman (1916)
1
Based on the life of Joan of Arc, the patriot who fought with men, She was loved by men and murdered by them. For seventy years the French were from defeat to defeat; Until, in 1429, France was going to become an English province. To Charles VII, King of France, abandoned by his most powerful nobles, his cousin opposed Duke of Burgundy, whose wealth and soldiers were with England. Even Paris was in English hands; Carlos, the weak king, reigned in a court petty and indebted, without honor or crown. At that time, when the soul of France died slowly, he lived in the village of Domremy a simple peasant, the daughter of Jacques d'Arc. Her name was Juana, a robust girl of the countryside whose life was to work at home or in the field. JOAN OF ARC She gave everything for France, and her reward was martyrdom. Joan of Arc has not died. She never will die, and in war on lands that She loved so much, her spirit struggles today. 1916 An English trench somewhere in France.
