Exactly who was Jesus?

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?

Award-winning producer John Heyman answers these questions in Jesus, the most ambitious Bible film ever made. Workshop teams painstakingly studied clothing, architecture, customs and food to ensure the films complete authenticity. Jesus was filmed on location in Israel in biblical settings with a cast of more than 5000 Israelis and Arabs. And virtually every word is taken directly from the gospel of Luke.

This production has been seen by billions of people world-wide; for many remote villages and tribes, this is the only film they have ever seen. It is by far the most translated film in history, with over 500 versions available from the Jesus Film Project, a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. After viewing the film, more than 300 million people have indicated a decision to follow the teachings of Jesus.
