From review by Sr. Rose Pacatte, FSP on Daughters of St. Paul website ” …
The appearance of these two films in the 2004 Lenten season offers film and television viewers an exceptional opportunity to explore the Gospels in depth. I have seen both the made-for-television Judas and Mel Gibson’s feature-length motion picture The Passion of the Christ. The two productions are complimentary. “With a stroke of programming luck on the part of ABC and the workings of divine providence, the U.S. audience will have the opportunity to see a unique version of the passion and death of Jesus soon after Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ has opened in theaters everywhere. The ABC film is Judas, and it premieres on television Monday , March 8, 9/8 central. Judas is a psychological drama that explores Jesus’ life and death from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed him.
