Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
Follow along as filmmaker Rob Fruchtman travels to historic locations across the globe to discuss and debate the role that Mary Magdalene played in early Christianity in this documentary companion piece to Dan Burstein and Arne de Kaijzer's book Secrets of Mary Magdalene: The Untold Story of History's Most Misunderstood Woman. Leading experts in religion and history all come together to investigate the woman who would become Jesus Christ's foremost apostle, as well address accusations that her image has been tarnished and her significance to early Christianity deliberately underplayed in order to better cohere to the constantly evolving agenda of organized religion.
