Reformation Day is celebrated on October 31st and it commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing the 95 thesis on the Wittenburg Door and the protests against the sins of the Roman Catholic church. The Christian faith was profoundly impacted by the Reformers: Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Ulrich Zwingli, Jan Hus and many more.
Learn more about them and their work, and the blood they shed at the hands of their enemies as they worked to produce the Bible you hold in your hand today.
Here are some documentaries and movies freely available (at this time) on YouTube:

The Protestant Reformation
It’s a multi-part video.

A Lamp In The Dark – The Untold History Of The Bible
The first 1/2 is pretty good, but the 2nd half gets a little too thick on the Jesuit stuff for my blood. Reminds me of Jack T Chick a bit too much.
