Movies, shows to watch this Easter: Top picks on faith, redemption and resurrection
'The Last Supper' (streaming now)
Now streaming after a successful stint in theaters, “The Last Supper” explores the events leading up to Jesus Christ's crucifixion through the perspectives of Peter and Judas. Filmed in Morocco and produced by CCM artist Chris Tomlin, "The Last Supper" offers a cinematic journey through the final days of Jesus' life, culminating in His ultimate act of love and sacrifice. Tomlin’s song, "No Greater Love," based on John 15, closes out the film.
"To have a focus on The Last Supper, this moment, it's really interesting to me because it brings that whole week of Jesus' life into focus," Tomlin told The Christian Post.
"Obviously, Jesus is the central figure, but the movie lets you see the story through their eyes. How many movies have you seen that focus on Judas? Not many," he noted. "We tend to want to forget about him. But this film gives insight into what they were both wrestling with, how they were perceiving Jesus, what they were going through. I think it's going to hit people in a strong way because everyone can relate to them in some way."
