Hey, this is John Gordon with Positive You and today my guest is Roma Downey. Roma, how are you?

I'm great, John. Thank you. And thank you so much for having me on. And can I just say I just

love the name of your podcast. I mean, Positive You as what we all need now more than ever is a bit

more positivity. Well, I appreciate that we do need more positivity and we also need more hope,

which is why I love this new movie that you have coming out on Discovery Plus. It is the movie

called Resurrection. I'm so excited for this. Can you talk about this movie and why you decided

to do it now? Absolutely. I mean, you've hit the nail on the head so to speak because we've all

just come through or we're still in the final throws of coming through what has to have been

one of the most challenging years, I think for all of us collectively. And Mark and I were my husband,

Mark and I were very keen to be able to put something out into the world that was positive,

that was hopeful, that wasn't encouraging and comforting. And so we worked with our editors

in London back and forth virtually to create and craft this beautiful film that tells the story

of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. And unlike other films, John of the genre, which really

probably tell more of the ministry of Jesus is passion and death and so on. Mark and I made one

ourselves called Son of God. Of course, Mel Gibson made one called the Passion. This particular movie

resurrection focuses more on the following the disciples after the death of Jesus. So the film

opens up at the crucifixion and and then we follow the disciples in those first few days after his

death. They're filled with grief filled with confusion filled with tremendous fear, of course,

because if they were killing Jesus and Jesus followers, the concern for for themselves that they

might be next. And so the impulse was to flee Jerusalem, maybe to go back to Galilee.

And yet they know that Jesus has promised that in three days he will rise and so they decide to

stay. And of course, you know, the rest is history. He does rise and the world forever changed.
