Hildegard von Bingen: Medieval Visonary

Vision - From the Life of Hildegard von Bingen

A new film on the life of Hildegard von Bingen opens this week in New York City. This extraordinary woman was a visionary, healer, composer and artist who at a time and place, 12th century Germany, when power was forbidden to women was, as leader of a religious order, one of the most powerful people in Europe.
