Synopsis
Rob Brydon narrates a dramatised/animated documentary which reveals the clash at the heart of the Medieval mind – between the reason and the supernatural - using rational process to dissect the divine. In 1307 in Hereford, a Catholic holy court convened to try and prove if a dead English bishop was actually a miracle-worker and whether he should be made into a saint. His case comprised several alleged miracles, the most notorious being the spectacular resurrection of a hanged man.
