A heart warming family film

Written by Leah

OPENING DECEMBER 1St 2006
The Nativity Story chronicles the arduous journey of two people, Mary and Joseph, a
miraculous pregnancy, and the birth of Jesus. This dramatic and compelling story comes
to life in a heart-warming film starring Academy Award nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes
(Whale Rider) as Mary, Oscar Isaac (Guerilla) as Joseph, Ciaran Hinds as King Herod
(Munich, Rome) , and Academy Award nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and
Fog) as Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist.

Exploring the relationship between Joseph and Mary in the two years preceding the birth
of Jesus, The Nativity Story is a beautifully uplifting film which is biblically faithful,
historically authentic and visually stunning.

The Nativity Story is directed by Catherine Hardwicke (Thirteen) from a screenplay by
Mike Rich (Finding Forrester, The Rookie) and produced by Wyck Godfrey, with
production designer Stefano Ortolani bringing to life the authentic look and feel of the
film.

The Nativity Story is released through Entertainment Film Distributors and opens
nationwide on December 1st 2006.

I was delighted to attend The Nativity film on December 24th with my 4 grown children and one granddaughter. The film was excellent. It ran adequately close to scripture to get the message across. It was a wonderful depiction of God’s love to humankind. I am so thankful to God that He puts such talent into people like Catherine Hardwick to produce His great story for people to enjoy. I fell in love with the character Mary – very well done by Keisha Castle-Hughes and I fully expect she will receive recognition for her role in this fabulous film. Very Well Done!! It was a 5 star film in my opinion.
