Resurrection On Film

A film based on the story of the Resurrection will be privately screened for Pope Benedict XVI on Sunday, April 1.

The movie will be shown on Italian state television on April 2-3.

The film The Investigation relates the story of the disappearance of Christ's body, from the perspective of a Roman official who is summoned to investigate events there.

The official, Tito Valerio Tauro, is given a secret mission by the Emperor Tiberius: to discover the truth behind the claims that a poor Jewish teacher rose from the dead after having been executed.

The film, produced by Rai Uno, was previewed last Friday at a Roman residence of the Opus Dei lay movement, and received with great enthusiasm.

It is scheduled to debut in theaters in Spain on April 4, and later in 500 theaters in the US, where it is being distributed by Fox.
