Ambitious film tackles Jesus as no other has dared

Adam Greaves-Neal stars as Jesus in his first leading role in The Young Messiah. The film looks at Jesus’ life as a child.

For the first time in cinematic history, a film is exploring the life of the child Jesus. The Young Messiah, in theatres March 11, follows the seven-year-old Jesus growing up in Egypt after the Holy Family fled Bethlehem to escape King Herod’s wrath. With news of Herod’s death, Joseph decides it is time to return. The journey, however, is not without its obstacles as Herod’s son assumes the search for the child Saviour.
