According to Sony’s press information, The Bible Stories: Esther was “created by the largest television co-production in history, and (was) shot on location in Morocco and Malta with a production team that included Christian, Jewish and Muslim scripture scholars.” The result of this effort is a visually sumptuous film that combines romance and heroism to effectively retell a very old story.
Bottom Line: Would I buy/rent The Bible Stories: Esther? Yes. The re-creation of ancient Persia and the retelling of an ancient story combine to provide a meaningful and absorbing video experience. There are no special features included on this DVD.

Tears of compassion fell for the Jewish people and the struggles they faced during the time of Esther; but also for the King. We have no idea how difficult it is to lead a country. This was a powerful movie that took us into the story, and kept us there all the way through. I will read the Bible story of Esther with greater understanding because of the excellent work that you have done. Thank you to everyone who made it. This is incredible!!
