The film itself started with a summary of the origin of the film, the actual physical record of the real life trial of the actual historical person of Joan of Arc.

After watching this, and I didn't know a great deal about Joan of Arc prior to watching the film, I was persuaded to research into her life more thoroughly, and she certainly seems to be a divisive historical character.

The Passion of Joan of Arc is based on the actual trial record for Joan (Rene Jeanne Falconetti) after being captured by England, and features her interrogation and subsequent execution at the hands of the clerical court.
