Impacting soon in a TV set near you. "Resurrection."
Impact Productions, headed by Tom Newman (80), the presenter of
the world famous "Toymaker’s Dream" drama, is branching
out into the world of Christian film with the Easter oriented film
"Resurrection."
"Resurrection" is the story of two Roman soldiers who
took part in the crucifixion and were witnesses to the subsequent
resurrection of Jesus. One is bought off and embraces the lie, while
the other risks his life and career to find the truth. It is based
on a short story by best-selling author Max Lucado, titled Resurrection
Morning."
