The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This movie should be seen by everyone. Do not be influenced by the negative reviews, written by people that wish to hide the truth. This documentary is extremely well researched and proves that the main stream media has an agenda which they push relentlessly. Thank goodness we live in an age where all the truth is available to us, and we no longer have to live being fooled by those in power. Watch this film, I promise you will not regret it.

This "documentary" is actually a typical anti-Jewish polemic. In fact Steven Anderson lied to the Rabbis who were interviewed by telling them the interviews were for a neutral PBS documentary on Jewish history. In truth every minute of the film was filled with attacks on the Jews, such as "Christ-killers" etc. Furthermore, the film contained a ton of misleading and blatantly false information on Jews.For example, it claimed that ALL Jews don't really believe in the Hebrew Bible on a literal level. This is utter nonsense as the vast majority of Orthodox Jews do believe in the Hebrew Bible literally.This was not helped by the fact that only one Orthodox Rabbi was interviewed, and even he appeared to be on the liberal-end of the Orthodox spectrum. Thus the movie based its attacks on the answers of the new liberal denomination Rabbis and took them to represent ALL Jews. As a result, half the movie was a strawman. Another example, is that in the movie, the Humanistic and Reform Rabbis answered that they don't really require circumcision or care about a lot of Old Testament laws like animal sacrifices. The movie then took that to be the case for ALL Jews. In reality Orthodox and many Conservative Rabbis do require full circumcision, and intend on renewing animal sacrifices in Jerusalem. The film also tried to negate the Jews' heritage with the usual "fake Jew" claim, implying that Jews basically don't have Semitic Israelite ancestry. This is false. First of all, most Israelis are Sephardic and Mizrahi Middle Eastern Jews, who never left the Mid East and who everyone agrees are Semitic Israelites. As for the Ashkenazi European Jews, most current genetic studies are in consensus that their paternal ancestry is Semitic Middle Eastern while their maternal ancestry is Southern European. So they're on average 50% Israelite. Therefore this film is a mess of strawmans and misconceptions. Viewers should also be aware that Steven Anderson, the writer, has openly called for the death of all gays and is a holocaust denier.

As a strong proponent of Euro Israel theology, it should be noted by a candid world that I don't even agree with every single premise advanced in this film.However I rate it as I do for a variety of reasons: No one (that I know of) since Ted Pike and his excellent film, "The Other Israel" has done a presentation on the vital subject matter of this film. So to any open-minded person or truth seeker that alone makes it profoundly relevant.The subject matter is broached very thoroughly and with poise and dignity. Another accomplishment to note given its incendiary nature in our hyper politically correct society today.Even if you disagree with a few of their conclusions/alternatives as I do, this film packs a powerful punch and thoroughly eviscerates the modern notion that the inhabitants of Israel today are even Semitic, much less the direct birthright heirs of the land of promise.To say nothing of all the brain sweat one has to exert to process all the information necessary to arrive at a full understanding of the greatest case of identity theft in history, this film lays the case out clearly, concisely and with artistic excellence.The graphical work and cinematography is incredibly well-done and rivals professional documentaries with massive production budgets.In short, this film doesn't just look and sound great on your TV, it has the substance to back it up--proving that at least in some areas of life, beauty is not always *only* skin deep.

Can I please give 0 stars? This is a massively ill-informed at best, deceitful at worst piece of work that ignores a rather large portion of Scripture that specifically refers to the Jewish people returning to Israel in the last days. It also claims that Christians are the real Jews (replacement theology) when in fact there are many, many, many verses in the New Testament that speak of the Jewish people and are referring to those ethnically Jewish. There is not enough room here to go into detail here in only 1000 words or less. Some questions regarding the replacement 'theology' in this film:1. If Christians are now the 'real Jews', then what are those who formerly held that title? That would leave them without any classification; the first people group without a title in the history of people groups. 2. Why didn't the early church specifically identify as a Jew anyone who believed in Jesus as the church grew larger with more people from the Gentiles? 3. If replacement theology is true, why did Peter and John call the unbelieving Jews 'Men of Israel' is Acts 3:12 and refer to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as 'our fathers' in vs 13? Why does Romans 3:1-3 refer to Jews who don't believe in Jesus? Wouldn't that make them non-Jews if the premise of this 'documentary' is correct? 4. If God can make an eternal covenant with Abraham tying his descendants to the land of Israel, and then break that covenant, how can Christians even be sure about our own salvation? 5. Why isn't the church ever referred to as God's firstborn as He called Israel in Exodus 4:22? Isn't that the proper title they would take over if the church has usurped the name 'Jew' from the physical descendants of Abraham? I have gone into more detail on the message boards here. What a pack of lies found in 'Marching To Zion'!
