Seen by over 4.7 billion people in 236 nations.

Translated into more languages than any film in history (more than 800), The Jesus Film has been seen by more than 4.7 billion people in 236 nations. The vivid screenplay, actually shot in the Holy Land, comes from the Gospel of Luke; virtually every word spoken by Jesus is drawn directly from the biblical text. More than five years of research went into the production design, costuming and handcrafted artifacts in an effort to provide historical authenticity.

Raising questions...
How could this destitute man from a despised town in Galilee, who never wrote a book, led an army, or owned anything, become the best-known and most-loved figure in history? Is Jesus who he said he was? Twenty centuries after he first appeared, why are people still so attracted to his life and teachings? Could he be what so many believe him to be?

Finding answers...
The Jesus Film has helped millions of people find the answers to these questions. This moving account of the life of Jesus gives an amazingly authentic portrayal of one of the most influential and captivating figures in all of human history, Jesus of Nazareth.
