According to Netflix, “Testament: The Story of Moses is the new documentary series exploring his life, from his exile as an outcast and murderer to eventual prophet and liberator. The three episodes take the story of Moses far deeper than the conventional wisdom generated by history classrooms and Charlton Heston; in other words, even if you think you know Moses, you have no idea. “
I have a few questions and maybe a few concerns. With films like The Book of Clarence, it’s clear secular studios have little to no respect for religion, especially Christianity. While Moses is an important figure in the Abrahamic faiths, it’s safe to assume Christians will be the target audience and marketing demographic. How honest will Netflix be in its storytelling, and how will it manage to honor and respect three religions simultaneously? Testament premieres on March 27th, but in the meantime…let’s talk about it.
Let’s watch the trailer together, then I want to know what you think.
