Breathing fresh life into the well-worn “Messiah Returns to Today’s World” trope, Joao Cerqueira creates in JESUS AND MAGDALENE a poignant and hilarious lampoon of modern life. Through a well-crafted alternate reality Cerqueira’s Jesus becomes involved in the revolutionary environmentalist movement, demonstrating not only that climate concerns have been around since at latest the time of Christ, but that addressing those concerns is one of the most Christian things mankind can do.
