The life story of Nostradamus unfolds in medieval Europe at the time of the Great Plague and the Inquisition. He lived in an age of superstition and magic and believed that he could foretell the future.

In this 2-hour examination of his life, visit his birthplace in France and trace his career as doctor, astrologer, father, and seer.moreless
