Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This unusual short caters to Christian viewers, with an animated retelling of the life story of famed 16th Century scholar and Bible translator William Tyndale (1494-1536). The program dramatizes Tyndale's efforts to subversively combat the rulings of evil King Henry VIII, who has made it illegal to speak, write or read Scripture in English. As a result, Henry summons his bounty hunters and forces them to track down and capture Tyndale at any cost - little realizing that even if he succeeds, Tyndale's work will spread to countless generations of Christian believers. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
Special features: stimulating interview with Dr. David Daniell, Tyndale scholar; fascinating interview with actor Russell Boulter, voice of Tyndale; comprehensive leader's guide with background information, timeline of the period, additional resources; reproducible student handouts, including comprehension and discussion questions, puzzles, activites, coloring; intercative children's quizzes online at www.torchlighters.org.
William Tyndale tops king Henry VIII's "Most Wanted" list in 1535 and is being pursued across Europe by the king's bounty hunters. William's "crime" is translating the Bible into English for the common people. This episode follows William's adventures as he worked in secret, moving from town to town as a fugitive to avoid capture. Friends and allies help him along, but enemies may be lurking around any corner.
