The Young Messiah

“Before he was the savior, he was a child.”

Jesus (Adam Greaves-Neal) is seven years old, and his family is leaving Egypt for Nazareth, the home he has never known. Cyrus Nowrasteh, adapting Anne Rice's novel, tells the journey from the boy's own height, with Mary (Sara Lazzaro) and Joseph (Vincent Walsh) beside him and Herod (Jonathan Bailey) and the centurion Severus (Sean Bean) somewhere behind. Along the road Jesus asks the questions any child would, only his are about who he is.
