Disguised as "Minstrels"; "Healers"; or "Scribes" you'll come to understand and appreciated the life of one extraordinary woman in this biographical study of Hildegard of Bingen.

Long before video games, televisions, radios, automobiles, and even telephones, in the mists of medieval Germany, over nine hundred years ago, a child was born. It may have been a simplier time than today, yet few would argue that it was less dangerous or less predictable. Who would have dreamed that a sickly baby girl, the tenth child to a noble family in 1098, would one day grow up to change the minds of Kings and challenge the religious practices of Popes?
