JESUS Film

Originally distributed in 1979 by Warner Brothers in theatres nationwide, the two-hour JESUS film remains the most translated and viewed movie in motion picture history. With over a thousand separate language translations and exposures in excess of 6 billion globally, the film is often shown in remote, third-world locales using a makeshift screen and portable projector—often bringing audiences their first look at a movie image. Since its inception, JESUS has become available in 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm print, VHS, VCD, and DVD formats. It can also be viewed on the Internet.
