Did Jesus exist? This film starts with that question, then goes on to examine Christianity as a whole.
When he's not playing a sentient robot, "Westworld" star Jeffrey Wright watches TV like the rest of us.

Storyline
Documentary filmmaker Brian Flemming examines the Bible and discusses the history of early Christianity, raising doubts as to whether the New Testament personage Jesus ever really existed. Flemming examines the similarity of the Jesus story to other savior myths of the time and points to inexplicable gaps in early Christian history that combine to shed doubt on the Bible's Jesus story.

Narrator: The Earth revolves around the Sun. But it wasn't always that way. The Sun used to revolve around the Earth. It was like that for hundreds of years, until it was discovered to be otherwise, and even for a few hundred years after that. But, ultimately, after much kicking and screaming, the Earth did, in fact, begin to revolve around the Sun. Christianity was wrong about the solar system.

The documentary brings up some very interesting historical evidence about Jesus, or lack of. Christians and many non-Christians have always taken for granted that Jesus was real without ever knowing that the words of the bible were written many years after Jesus was suppose to live. This film is the the research of one former fundamentalist's search for the truth.
A lot of facts are brought out but there are so many more that are not touched upon. But when taken into consideration this is one man's viewpoint and considering he has not had the many years of experience studying this topic as many I think this is a great film. It is meant to tell Brian Flemming's story and get others to just think about what they perceive as the truth.
Religion has always been about control and power over people by restricting pursuit of knowledge and even in today's more open society to information certain subjects are kept from the general public. This film is an excellent introduction for those with any questions or curiosity of the subject.
