The title of this short film is quoted from Thomas Müntzer’s 1524 speech A Highly-Provoked Vindication. The documentary traces the most important events of the German Peasants’ War of 1524-25 and the leading role of reformer Thomas Müntzer. Images of 1970s Mülhausen—one of the last places Müntzer preached—are combined with shots of well-known artworks of the 16th to 20th centuries.
