A poignant portrayal of the Atonement of Jesus Christ

This film is an amazing depiction of the last few days of the life of Jesus Christ. It spans the Holy Week, from the triumphal entry on Palm Sunday through the Resurrection. With very little dialog, it relates the dramatic events of Gethsemane and Calvary in a touching way that will help any viewer more fully understand the Savior's purpose and sacrifice. The actors portrayed the roles of Christ, the Apostles, the Sanhedrin and Pontius Pilate with depth and sincerity. It is the most respectful and accurate representation of these world-changing events I have seen. I highly recommend this film as a very special and moving way to recognize and focus on the true meaning of Easter.
