Secrets of Mary Magdalene

November 14th, 2008  |  by Alive Mind Education  |  published in Films Q-S, Secrets of Mary Magdalene

Based on Dan Burstein and Arne de Keijzer’s nonfiction work, Secrets of Mary Magdalene, the film reveals the untold story of how her image has been continuously reimagined throughout history.

A sinner and prostitute, or the secret wife of Jesus and leader of his church? Secrets of Mary Magdalene strips away the veils of history to reveal the flesh and blood of the woman who served as Jesus’ foremost apostle and possibly the love of his life.

The documentary examines Mary Magdalene’s role in early Christianity and how her significance may have been deliberately suppressed, and her image tarnished, to serve the purposes of an evolving Church. It explores the recent discovery of the Gnostic Gospels and their revelations as well as examining how, for many modern women, Mary Magdalene has become a symbol of the sacred feminine.

Much of the entertaining Hippie Masala consists of charming reminiscences from the quirky quartet (as well as a pair of voluble South African twins who’ve also taken up residence in India), backed by footage of their day-to-day lives. Recommended.
-Video Librarian November/December 2008

A poignant and serious meditation on human psychology, Protagonist is highly recommended. Editor's Choice.
-Video Librarian September/October 2008

Brilliantly filmed under fairly difficult circumstances, Living Goddess will definitely appeal to anyone with an interest in Eastern religions. Recommended.
-Video Librarian September/October 2008

Some believers will no doubt refuse to watch these conversations, while others may feel that their faith can only be strengthened by confronting the strongest arguments against it—and The Atheism Tapes definitely delivers the latter. Highly recommended.
-Video Librarian July/August 2008

Both as a lesson in law and as an entertaining personality profile, Pledge of Allegiance Blues is highly recommended.
