What You Need To Know:
This short video’s strong Christian and moral worldview guesses at what took place in the early morning of Good Friday, with biblical references to Jesus and his actions. The believing man declares his desire to “inherit the kingdom.” The other man is more attempts to belittle any points made in Jesus favor. There are a few anachronistic phrases relating to matters of faith like “I don’t give a fig…” but ultimately, the movie makes a strong point about the realization of faith in Jesus. Shot on videotape on what looks like a stage set, this thought-provoking video is a great tool to prompt discussion with non-Christian friends on who Christ really is.

More Detail:
In THE WALL, two prisoners sentenced to die along with Jesus Christ discuss their views on death and eternal life before their crucifixion is carried out. As they await their fate, they discuss their differing beliefs and peer through a wall into the cell next to them, at the one who calls himself the Son of God.
During the pre-dawn hours of Good Friday, Gestas (David Haig) and Dimas (Douglas Velie) anxiously await their sentence to die by crucifixion. They are presumably the two thieves who died on either side of Jesus Christ. One man holds a worldly, secular point of view and discourages the other man, who wants to know more about “His Kingdom.”
In the next cell, Jesus Christ is imprisoned. The story takes an unusual viewpoint as one man can see Jesus in the dim light, while the other can only see blackness. This is puzzling as to whether the first man’s sight is an allegory to his faith, or whether he just has better eyesight, since he had a job working at night. There are a few anachronistic phrases relating to matters of faith like “I don’t give a fig…” but ultimately, the movie makes a strong point about the realization of faith in Jesus.
This video’s strong Christian and moral worldview guesses at what took place in the early morning of Good Friday, with biblical references to Jesus and his actions. The believing thief declares his desire to “inherit the kingdom” and expresses how he wants to believe in Him. The other man is more pessimistic and attempts to belittle any points made in Jesus’ favor while criticizing the other man’s attempts to understand. He constantly asks if Jesus is sweating, almost as an assurance that Jesus is merely a man. Interestingly enough, THE WALL was written by Richard Lauchman, a self-proclaimed agnostic who wrote the story while attending university as a challenge to a Christian friend.
Shot on videotape on what looks like a stage set, this thought-provoking video allegory is a great tool to prompt discussion with non-Christian friends on who Christ really is.
