The Anabaptist Power Couple: Discussing The Radicals

February 19, 2025 • The MennoBrarians • Season 7 • Episode 2

This week, the MennoBrarians return to discuss the 1989 movie, The Radicals. The Radicals tells the story of Michael and Margaretha Sattler, starting with their departure from the Catholic church and ending with each of them dying as martyrs for their Anabaptist beliefs.

We chat about our experiences with this film growing up, characters we found interesting, and much more.

You can watch The Radicals for free on a variety of platforms, including YouTube.

We always love hearing from listeners! You can reach us at plainwrongpod at gmail.com, or on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
