Puritan: All of Life to the Glory of God (2019)

Joyless. Severe. Fanatical. 'Haunted by the fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.' That's the Puritan reputation. But to what extent is that reputation deserved? Drawing on the latest research, and featuring interviews with some of the most celebrated scholars in the field, this beautiful and atmospheric new documentary takes us from the birth of Puritanism all the way through to its influence in the present day.
