2020 is marked by a centenary that the health crisis almost made us miss: that of the canonization of Joan of Arc, on May 16, 2020. Do we still have something to learn about this saint, a figure of French history? In reality yes, because everything is interesting and rich in her life: her journey which reveals the political realities of the 15th century, her trial which makes us share her interiority, but also the theology of her time without forgetting her canonization --- which plunges us into the atmosphere of Catholicism at the beginning of the 20th century. An issue of La Foi prise au mot, filmed with historians Philippe Contamine and Xavier Hélary, which removes the dust that some could have, through negligence, allowed to settle on the figure of this great saint.
