A Feature Film About the Women Jesus Commissioned is Coming!
Two thousand years ago, something happened that the world was never told.
Jesus didn't just call twelve men. He commissioned women – gave them the same authority, the same mission, the same trust. Susanna, Joanna, Martha, and eventually Mary of Magdala. They organized themselves. They healed. They taught. They changed lives across Galilee and beyond.
And then the record was erased.
Readers of the Urantia Papers know this story. It lives in Paper 150 – one of the most quietly revolutionary passages in the entire book. The Women's Evangelistic Corps wasn't a footnote. It was, in the words of the revelators themselves, among the most remarkable things Jesus did – because they understood what it would mean across the long arc of planetary history.
Now it's becoming a film.
"Magdala" is a feature-length prestige drama that brings this lost chapter to the screen. It follows Mary of Magdala from the moment her life is shattered open by an encounter with truth, through her commissioning, and into the impossible work of carrying that truth forward in a world determined to silence it.
This is a film about what happens when someone discovers who they really are – and what it costs to live from that discovery.
A professional screenwriter with serious Hollywood credits is attached and driving the creative vision. A pitch deck and full story are in active development. The production plan is real: locations, budgets, tax credits, a path to A-list talent. This is not a wish – it's a project in motion.
And like "The First Choice", we're building it with this community from the ground up.
"Magdala" will be the first feature film drawn directly from Part IV of the Urantia Papers. Not loosely inspired. Not hiding its source. A film that honors the revelation while delivering the kind of cinematic experience that moves audiences who've never opened the book – and gives readers the moment they have been waiting for: seeing these women on screen, finally, as they were.
The story of spiritual equality isn't a modern invention. It was there from the beginning. The church buried it. The Papers restored it. Now it's our turn to put it where the whole world can see it.
We'll be sharing more in the coming weeks – including how you can be part of making this happen.
The women have waited two thousand years.
It's time.
