This strand of RE curriculum bites uses a drama
about two boys playing a computerised game to relate
the teaching and example of Jesus to their own moral
attitudes and circumstances. The intention of this
film is to illustrate the surprising and paradoxical
nature of several examples of Jesus' teaching. Darryl
is a vicar's son, his friend Steve a year older.
They deal with Jesus' actions in cleansing the temple,
not resisting arrest and freeing an adulterous woman.
Darryl and Steve find some connections with their
own lives and some challenges to their own behaviour
in the drama. Pupils may find something to think
about for themselves.

The impression of Jesus people
have at my school is way too 'perfect' - his
rough rebelliousness isn't shown. He's not
portrayed like he really was. This programme
challenges that image a bit
