Synopsis

The film explores the "missing years" of Jesus, focusing on his life from ages three to twelve. After King Herod, fearing the birth of the Messiah, orders the execution of all Hebrew male children under the age of three, Joseph takes his family to Egypt. In Egypt, Jesus, beginning to understand his divine nature, expresses a wish to return to Nazareth. During the journey back with his mother Mary, Jesus experiences visions of events that will occur in his adult life.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
