Film facts
___ Up to 500,000 people saw "Jesus" in one day at a mammoth open-air showing in Manila, the Philippines, in January 1998. They watched the film on 18 screens and listened to it through big speakers or on a local radio station.
___ "Jesus" has been shown on national television in Iraq, Myanmar, Spain, the West Bank and Gaza, among other lands. As many as 10 million Latin Americans saw "Jesus" on television during the 1996 Easter season.
___ Some strangely dressed people appeared one day at a Christian meeting in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia's capital. They were from the Gobi Altai, a region barely touched by the gospel. After somehow seeing the "Jesus" film, they had been meeting in a village leader's house to read the Bible. When, they asked, could someone come and start a church?
