Description
April 18, 2021 was the 500th anniversary of Luther’s speech at the Diet of Worms on April 18, 1521. Several years ago, Dr. Herrmann had the privilege of advising the PBS documentary Martin Luther: The Idea that Changed the World. The producers, Steve Boettcher and Mike Trinklein, have put together a “directors’ cut” of Luther’s speech and graciously gave us access to it. It includes a more complete version of his speech than what we normally hear (though even here it does not include everything), and I think the actor (Pádraic Delaney) captures well the mood and the import of the moment.
