Is Jesus Christ buried in a small rural village in northern Japan?

In this episode, we investigate where this bizarre legend came from, the secret 1930s documents that tried to rewrite world history, and what the story of "Japanese Jesus" teaches us about our own tendency to reshape faith to fit our desires.
