Synopsis

DANTE explores the stunning power and drama of Dante Alighieri's great masterwork, The Divine Comedy - inarguably one of the greatest artistic masterpieces in the history of literature. The documentary by Ric Burns dives into the riveting life and times of the poem's maker - into the politics and culture of the late middle ages - into the birth of the Italian language - into the birth of humanism itself.
