I AM JESUS - 1 x 75 minutes


Synopsis:
I AM JESUS - 1 x 75 minutes

A farmer, a media star and a secret agent … all claim to be Jesus Christ on earth.

Three far-flung communities have formed around three different men claiming to be the Second Coming of Christ.

Russia - An organic farming community in Siberia has evolved around a charismatic, but introverted man called Vissarion.  His teachings focus on survival in a scarce future.

Brazil - INRI Cristo, a simple but educated man has appeared in almost every TV show in the country and has built a safe haven for his mainly female followers.

UK - David Shayler is a former secret service agent in the UK who has become spiritual after going to prison.  He is part of a young squatting community fighting capitalism and rejecting the system.

This documentary shows the everyday life of each community and explores differences and similarities between them while raising questions about leadership and spiritual belonging.

In many religions the concept of God appearing on earth in human form is a well discussed matter, and millions of believers expect the Messiah to come and save humanity.

But what if Jesus was already living amongst us? Would he be wearing a white robe, surrounded by light, preaching in the streets? Where would he be born and which language would he speak? Would he be a political leader? A TV presenter? Or simply the homeless guy in front of your local supermarket?
