Episode 1 of 2
DURATION: 1 HOUR
How Michael Sheen inspired his home town to create the most ambitious piece of theatre that Wales has ever seen.
This documentary follows Sheen and the hundreds of people from all over Port Talbot who took part in a very modern retelling of the story of the crucifixion Easter 2011. Sheen's commitment is 1000 per cent and we see how the project becomes increasingly terrifying as he realises that what he has undertaken is so much more than a play. As we watch the show coming together, we also get an intimate portrait of a town. The carpenters who built the cross, the disabled girl who inspired a dance and the old timers from a terraced street cut in half by the M4, are all part of a community that astonishes itself and us with its desire to find a voice through this extraordinary play. Includes rock bands, bell ringers, choirs, a junior string band and teenage fire jugglers.
