Barabbas
Director: Roger Young
Based on the Nobel Prize® winning novel by Pär Lagerkvist, BARABBAS is a four-hour event miniseries
that explores the epic story of the ultimate biblical sinner. Barabbas, the great robber, brigand and
freedom-fighter, is compelled to ponder the meaning of redemption for the rest of his life after he is
spared from crucifixion when Pilate manipulates the crowd into pardoning him, rather than Jesus
Christ. Struggling with his spirituality after his wife Esther is brutally murdered for being a follower of
Jesus, Barabbas goes through many ordeals that lead him to the gladiatorial arena, where he wins
his freedom and confronts his inner demons, lastly becoming a believer and follower of the man who
was crucified in his place.
