Explore Joan of Arc’s rise from a teen girl to a leader who helped France in the hundred years war. Discover the controversies surrounding her visions and her defiance of gender norms in a male-dominated society.

Ep 1:

Voices in the Dark

A peasant girl's divine visions and defiant male dress set her apart—but were her saintly voices real, or a threat to be judged and destroyed?

Ep 2:

Glory at Orléans, Shadow at Rheims

Joan's daring leadership frees Orléans and crowns a king, yet triumph curdles into overconfidence, betrayal, and a catastrophic capture at Compiègne.

Ep 3:

Ashes and Absolution

Imprisoned and broken, Joan's faith wavers before her fiery death—only for history to reverse course, clearing her name and crowning her a saint.

Ep 4:

The Immortal Maid

Decades on, Joan defies easy definition, claimed by every faction and echoing Christ himself as a symbol of sacrifice, mystery, and enduring power.
