Marie Durand – Imprisoned but Free – OFFICAL TRAILER 2
Marie Durand was 19 years old when she was imprisoned in the Tower of Constance in France. Her crime was having a brother who was a Protestant minister. She was promised freedom if she denied her faith in the Bible and its teachings. She only had to say one French word – “J’abjure” – “I deny.” But her faith was more import to her than her freedom.
