This PBS "Martin Luther" video explores the world of Martin Luther, the collapse of the medieval world, and the birth of the modern age.

Luther’s attack on the all-powerful Catholic Church was stabbed like a knife into the heart of an empire that had endured for over a thousand years. Nailing the treatise to the doors of the Wittenberg Cathedral, this previously obscure German monk changed the world forever. Filmed across Europe, from rustic rural Germany to the opulence of Vatican City. Here is the story of Luther from a PBS perspective.
