Synopsis

What if Jesus lived today - in our violent world? In a region where there is military occupation, injustice and oppression? Where greed condemns people to live in virtual slavery and innocent lives are destroyed for the sake of power and ambition? "Sparrow Story" is a fast-moving and challenging presentation of the greatest story of all time - for people in our own age. And, our storyteller's unique perspective is strangely appropriate...'I have to admit that in the great hierarchy of birds, we sparrows are not well placed. Even the Boss admits it. 'Sparrows? Two a penny,' he says. For a moment, I am quite shocked. But, in the crazy upside-down way the Boss talks, you never know who is at the bottom and who is at the top. Most of his friends are sparrows - the human variety, I mean. The poor, the ignored, the overlooked. Yet, there are times when these sparrow people seem more important than anyone else to him. People who get pushed to the margins are somehow at the centre in his way of thinking. And, one day, something happens that proves it.'
