Jesus, a humble Judean carpenter beginning to see that he is the son of God, is drawn into revolutionary action against the Roman occupiers by Judas -- despite his protestations that love, not violence, is the path to salvation. The burden of being the savior of mankind torments Jesus throughout his life, leading him to doubt.
Dusty Judean landscapes crackle with the tension of Roman occupation and the heavy weight of divine expectation. This visceral reimagining strips away the marble statues to reveal a man wrestling with the terrifying pull of human desire and political revolt.
