Magdalena Today

About

T

he film, "Magdalena: Through Her Eyes," is the true story of Jesus seen through the eyes of Mary Magdalene – a story of tenderness, freedom and purpose. "Magdalena" reveals what can happen when women refuse to live in defeat and choose to discover their real value.

For the first time, this remarkable film – created by women for women – gives a voice to one of the most complex and often misunderstood women of our past. Through Mary Magdalene's eyes, we experience much more than just her own transformation by Jesus' redemptive love.

A

s you watch, the woman at the well realizes that Jesus is the Messiah, the woman caught in adultery walks away in forgiveness, and the woman healed of bleeding is restored to health, physically and spiritually. These Biblical stories bring into clear focus how much Jesus values and affirms women. Then and now, Jesus reaches out to women in the midst of their struggles and sin.

Originally released as "Magdalena: Released From Shame", this DVD includes the 60-minute condensed adaptation of the film in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese and the original 82-minute film in eight languages.

Judy Douglass: "I love 'Magdalena'—it gives such hope and value to women all over the world. And I love the Bible studies that accompany it. We identify so well with the stories of real people, and these studies take us into the lives of the women Jesus encountered—and loved and valued. Through them we receive that same love and value from Jesus—what a privilege!"
(Campus Crusade for Christ, International)
Liz Curtis Higgs: "Who better than Mary Magdalene to show us the life, death and resurrection of Jesus through a woman's eyes and heart. ... The careful handling of the biblical text, the solid production value of the film, and the maturity, compassion, and wisdom shown in Rebecca Ritz's portrayal of Mary Magdalene create a powerful, moving story that will touch women's hearts around the world. A brilliant concept beautifully rendered!"
(Best-selling author of Bad Girls of the Bible and Unveiling Mary Magdalene)
Thelma Wells: "Nobody can tell a love story like a woman who's experienced it first hand. That's what 'Magdalena' is doing on this moving and compelling DVD.
