The year is 1525. Michael and Margaretha Sattler have fled their religious orders. Their quest: restore the church to the purity of its early days when communities of believers practiced peace compassion and sacrificial love.
The Sattlers join a group called the Anabaptists and together challenge the 1000 year control of the Church by the State. They call for baptism to once again become not a mark of citizenship but an adult and voluntary decision to follow Christ. As their movement grows so does the determination of their enemies to stop them by any means necessary.
In 1527 Michael is burned at the stake and Margaretha drowned. But their movement survives and today is carried on by the Mennonites Mennonite Brethren Brethren in Christ the Hutterites and the Amish.
