"Magdalena shows God's love and affirmation for women," said Jim Green, executive director of The JESUS Film Project. "The film is a wonderful way to share with women everywhere that they are loved and valued by God."

Magdalena: Released from Shame is the story of Jesus as told by Mary Magdalene. The movie combines new video with scenes from the JESUS Film. Internationals from honor/shame cultures may especially be able to relate with its message.

At the conclusion of the film, there is a scene in which some women are gathered with a friend who is asking questions. These are questions many internationals would also have. It ends with a type of sinner's prayer that expresses the gospel from an honor/shame perspective.

One woman caught in the scandalous act of adultery; another, rejected and ignored because of her promiscuous lifestyle; another, shunned for 12 years because of a shameful condition; a widow, cast out from society, mourning the loss of her only son. An ugly thread of shame, sorrow and hopelessness painfully weaves its way through the lives of each of these women.
After following Jesus for three years, Mary Magdalene observed all these things and more. Watching with amazement, Mary learned from Jesus a new way to look at people.
Mary Magdalene acts as both narrator and participant in "Magdalena: Released From Shame" as she traces through the story of lives that have come into contact with this man, Jesus, and have been powerfully released from shame.
