"Magdalena: Released from Shame" is a new feature film being released by Inspirational Films. It has been one of the great privileges of my life to have been a part of this project from beginning to end as Co-Executive Producer. Tuesday night was a celebration screening for the cast and crew at Paramount Studios.
Based on the track record of Inspirational Films,it is expected that one billion women will be impacted by this film in the next ten years!!! The film is already having an impact where it has been released outside the U.S. Women often leave the theater in tears as they understand there is a God who sees and cares.
With all the recent speculation of Mary Magdalene’s role in the life of Jesus, this film beautifully portrays her as a faithful follower and first-hand witness of his miracles and teaching. “Magdalena” reflects accurately and artistically the biblical record of Jesus’ care and concern for women. In our present day, his example and teaching are radical for the way he treated women with love, respect and compassion. Consider how much more so his esteem toward women was radical in his own context. Read A Thousand Splendid Suns (#9 on Amazon as of today) by Khaled Hosseini (Kite Runner) for a gripping glimpse into the lives of women whose status is still no better than property.
