That's The Savior, a 2014 Bulgarian-Jordanian film about the life of Jesus by an Arabic cast. To know how they made this film, we talked with John Dorr, The Savior producer. Dorr shares how they bring to life the story in a way to address Muslims to share what Christians believe and not to impose an idea that created the audience to feel identified as Dorr explains through different stories.
Dorr reflected on his childhood living in the middle east and how his mother's profession, author of novels and biblical historical books, changed and marked his approach to historical characters. About another filmography, Dorr tells us how they structure their films and for what and the importance of the decision to stick to chronological order.
