The Trailer
The Review
This movie deals on the aspect of religion, how it’s twisted and manipulated to serve the purpose of one, and at the expense of many.
You’ll watch how the lust for power, the old beliefs all brought a nation to its knees.
The characters were unique and endearing, especially Hypatia, you’ll be touched by their stories and journey in the film.
This is a story of human nature and its best and worst.
The Good
- Film will make you question of your purpose in life
- Serves as a good historical accounts, the rise of Christianity
The Bad
- Some inaccuracy in the facts
- I can’t bear to watch the heroine being ‘crucified’ for her beliefs
