This historical docudrama presents the life of a Czech prodigy from an unusual point of view. The world-famous Dutch painter Rembrandt is painting a portrait of Comenius and their dialogue includes memories of events that affected Comenius's life and work.
Driven from his homeland because of his faith, this 17th century Christian hero is a testimony of the persistence of Christian courage. Comenius, commonly hailed as the "Father of Modern Education," was stripped of everything but hopeā¦and a vision for the kingdom of God. This major dramatic feature was filmed in Comenius' native land, Czechoslovakia. A Columbus Film Festival award winner.
