Over a 100 years of history of cinema includes significant representations of Jesus and the story of his life, death and resurrection. Beginning with the Italian movie Christus (1916), and including classics such as Ben Hur (1959) and the more recent The Passion of the Christ (2004), the documentary shows how cinema has treated the story of Christianity.
