The Making of The Radicals
A Tribute to Spiritual Martyrs Michael and Margaretha Sattler
Authored by Jane M Dahl
Contributions by Robert A Nowotny, Norbert Weisser
The Making of the Radicals is a full color photo journal based on an
award winning film. The Radicals is a 1990 movie that still has a
wide following more than twenty years after its release. It is based on
the true story of spiritual martyrs Michael and Margaretha Sattler who
were put to death by the Catholic Church in 1527 because of their
beliefs. They shared a deep love and had the inner courage to follow
those beliefs knowing they could die for them. It is believed to be the
only full-length theatrical release film about the Protestant and
Radical Reformation Period of the 1500s.
Michael and Margaretha Sattler were Anabaptists who lived in the
time of the Protestant Reformation. They were considered heretics by
the Catholic Church and outlaws by the Protestants. Even though they
had to preach their message in barns and caves to avoid detection, they managed to thrive.
This photo journal explores the film, the actual historical characters from this period and the spiritual movement they believed
in, along with the history and geography in the beautiful regions in the Alsace, France, Western Germany and Switzerland
where they lived.
This photo journal also contains the complete content of a work that was published in honor of the 20th Anniversary of the
film: "The Radicals Tribute: Commemorating 20 Years." This full color volume contains images from the film, a story
synopsis, behind-the-scenes stories and photos from the actors and crew as they fondly remember their time making the film,
and a tribute to Mark Lenard, who played Eberhard Hoffman in this movie.
While widely known for playing Spock's father in the Star Trek films,
Mark had a wide and varied film and stage career outside of the Star Trek
world.
The Radicals Tribute section of this book also shows the beautiful and
colorful costumes that were sewn by volunteers in Switzerland and France
for no pay. They created beautiful gowns and also colorful tunics and
leggings for over 700 extras that were part of a beautifully choreographed
battle scene between the two religious factions.
Part of this photo journal is based upon material from this website.
