A Black Jesus

Synopsis

For many centuries, in a small Sicilian town, people have been worshipping a statue of a black Jesus. 19 year old Edward from Ghana, a resident of the refugee centre which is the subject of great controversy in the village, asks to carry the statue in the annual procession and to stand next to the locals that bear its cart. The community is divided over the response. On a journey exploring the source of fear and prejudice against "the others", the inhabitants of this small European village are called upon to question their own identity, starting with the very icon of their faith: a black Jesus.
