The Gospel According To St. Matthew

Set against a stark, rocky coastline, this powerful adaptation follows Jesus as he begins his ministry through challenging parables. Portrayed as stern, brusque, and uncompromising, his teachings directly confront the powers that be. This confrontation draws the ire of the Pharisees and elders, setting in motion a tragic sequence of events leading to his arrest, trial, and eventual crucifixion as prophesied.
