After Mary gives birth to Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, she and her husband Joseph are immediately met with the threat of their child - the son of God - being murdered on the order of King Herod, who hears about the alleged birth of the King of the Jews. The family flee to Alexandria in Egypt for seven years, before returning to Mary's hometown of Nazareth, Israel upon hearing that Herod is dead. Jesus is still unaware of the special circumstances surrounding his birth, unaware that his true father is the Lord in Heaven, and unaware that he possesses power beyond any other man in history. Sooner or later, Mary and Joseph have to open up about the miracle of Jesus' life, but before long they face yet more danger from Herod's equally tyrannical son who is also determined to have Jesus killed.

'The Young Messiah' is a dramatic film interpretation of the Jesus' childhood, and based on the novel 'Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt' by Anne Rice. The film has been directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh ('The Stoning of Soraya M.', 'The Island') and co-written by Betsy Giffen Nowrasteh ('Bad Day on the Block'), and it is scheduled to be released on March 11th 2016.
