*Please Note: This Special is for Mature Audiences Only.
*I want to also inform you - the man portraying Jesus, in this movie, is of the Muslim faith. I personally feel, as a Christian, that this goes against my own beliefs. This isn't just any role. He is portraying the Son of God, and his religion does not recognize Jesus as such.

PLOT:
via Nat Geo: It’s a story nearly the whole world knows, with more than 2.2 billion people around the globe following the teachings and principles of Jesus of Nazareth. But the intimate historical details of his life and the political collusions that led to his brutal demise bring new context to the familiar story.
Movie Review:
I will not be watching this movie, due to the fact that the man portraying Jesus, in this movie, is of the Muslim faith. I personally feel, as a Christian, that this goes against my own beliefs. This isn't just any role. He is portraying the Son of God, and his religion does not recognize Jesus as such.
