An extraordinary popular success when it was first published in 1912, The Promised Land is a classic account of the Jewish American immigrant experience. Mary Antin emigrated with her family from theEastern European town of Polotzk to Boston in 1894, when she was twelve years old. Preternaturally inquisitive, Antin was a provocative observer of the identity-altering contrasts between Old World andNew. Her narrative — of universal appeal and rich in its depictions of both worlds — captures a large-scale sociocultural landscape and paints a profound self-portrait of an iconoclast seeking to reconcile herheritage with her newfound identity as an American citizen.
The distinguished actor Charlton Heston (known for his heroic portrayals in classic films like PLANET OF THE APES and BEN HUR) lends his husky, assured voice to this documentary exploring the most influential book in the Western World, the Bible. Heston narrates the 4-part series, which is broken down into:
Genesis,
The Story of Moses,
Jesus of Nazareth,
and
Passion.
