synopsis
Jacob was produced for television by the Daughters of St. Paul. In the space of two hours, the History of the World is related, from the Creation to the age of Jacob. Lacking lavish production values, the drama utilizes clever placement of limited props and extras to convincingly recreate its era. Currently, the film is available only in a Spanish-language version, titled Jacob: El Hombre Que Lucho Con Dios. Research has not revealed whether or not an English version was prepared.
