The Turning Point Ministries and Dr David Jeremiah are releasing a new full-length feature film that will explore one of the most pivotal moments in human history, the birth of Jesus Christ.

The film is based on the book by Dr David Jeremiah titled, Why the Nativity? 25 Compelling Reasons We Celebrate the Birth of Jesus. It will explore why certain people, events, and locations were chosen by God in the birth of Jesus Christ.

“I’m excited for this opportunity to bring the true story of Christmas to the world’s stage in an unprecedented and unparalleled fashion,” said David Jeremiah.

Turning Point produced this live-action film on a custom-made set in San Diego County to recreate Bethlehem and the surrounding areas at the time of Christ’s birth.

Throughout the movie, viewers will witness powerful reenactments, including Old Testament prophets foretelling the birth of Christ; Gabriel appearing to Mary; Joseph and Mary travelling to Bethlehem; the star guiding the Wisemen and the birth of Jesus.

“From its inception, this unique product has been designed to be shared with the whole world, for everyone from all walks of life,” Jeremiah said. “We pray it becomes an instant Christmas classic with the longevity to reach new audiences with the timeless Gospel message for generations to come. And I’m confident this unforgettable journey through film will help the hope of Christmas jump out of the pages of the Bible.”

Why the Nativity? will be featured at two premiers. One will take place at Regal LA Live Theater in Los Angeles on November 18 and the other at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. on December 2.

Turning Point Ministries chief creative officer and the film’s director and executive producer, Paul Joiner, said that the film is accessible to everyone, not just those who already know about the Nativity.

“It’s about evangelism,” said Joiner. “People are open to hearing the Christmas story, so what an opportunity it is for us to say that Christmas is more than just the fun, food, and fellowship, it is about the salvation story. The gospel.”
