Go behind the scenes of a crucifixion sequence—from months of location scouting across Israel to a last-minute pivot into the Judean desert. See how the team built and secured three crosses, kept actors safe in the heat, and designed realistic wounds, bruising, and blood flow. Watch the care taken with a real crown of thorns and the powerful moment an actor cries, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” This is a reverent, detailed look at bringing the Gospel story to the screen and why excellence matters when portraying Jesus.
