political change with this film he's not interested in religion but in christ's radical message the fact that he campaigned for the oppressed and weakest in society. there can't be a good film about jesus which does not bring in reality jesus his message was really interesting since he was a social revolutionary and said that the last would be the 1st. i asked myself who the last word today and they are in these camps i mean these people on the margins of society who produced tomatoes for us so that's when i said it had to be about them mr ski. back in midtown and antony isn't shooting any scenes today so he's going to do some sightseeing. i've never been to my that eye before it so as this was it that brought me here both in my there at the dais kind of you see beauty will be nice to be. if a beauty for a while and then. you think how is this. the how's this.
