Synopsis by Steve Blackburn
Part of a five-video series filmed in the Holy Land, this program portrays the Biblical figure Abraham, a man who answered God's call to leave his home, family, and nation to found the Jewish faith, which eventually led to Christianity and Islam. The video features docudrama-style re-creations of crucial events in the life of Abraham, and it utilizes ancient texts and artifacts to supplement this examination of the religious patriarch whose acts of faith still inspire millions of people in modern times. Distributed by SISU Home Entertainment, the foremost source of Israeli and Jewish media products.
