This
feature-length documentary reunites Oscar winner
James Cameron (Titanic) and Emmy Award winner Simcha Jacobovici (The Naked Archaeologist). Part CSI, the
film chronicles the search for a forgotten first-century tomb and the
investigation into who was buried there. Drawing upon archaeology,
forensics and other sciences, the filmmakers uncover evidence that links
the tomb and its contents directly to events described in the Gospels.
Archaeological findings unearthed during filming and seen on television
for the first time also shed new light on the lives of the earliest
Christians.
Jesus: Faith, Fact or Fiction, a week-long event on VisionTV, invites viewers to think in new and challenging ways about the central figure in Christian tradition.
Throughout the week of Nov. 12, VisionTV presents documentaries and feature films that pose the provocative question: Who was Jesus of Nazareth?
VisionTV kicks off the week with a special rebroadcast of The Lost Tomb of Jesus (Monday, Nov. 12, 9 p.m. and midnight ET/6 p.m. and 9 p.m. PT
Repeats Saturday, Nov. 17, 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT), a feature-length documentary has outraged some Christians with its startling claims about the life and death of Jesus – so much, in fact, that its U.S. broadcaster, Discovery Channel, has acceded to intense public pressure not to air the film again.
In addition, VisionTV will broadcast two exclusive world premiere documentaries that take a critical look at the findings of The Lost Tomb.

The Lost Tomb of Jesus reaches startling conclusions about the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth. Many Christians see the documentary as a direct assault upon the foundations of their faith. But did the producers base their sweeping claims on solid fact? In this new documentary, award-winning Canadian journalist and filmmaker Martin Himel ( End of Days , Confrontation at Concordia ) delves deep into the controversy, investigating the most provocative of The Lost Tomb 's findings. The hour-long report includes commentary from archaeological experts – some of whom label The Lost Tomb “far-fetched” and even “intellectually dishonest” – as well as a spirited defense from award-winning filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici.
