Official Trailer for Holy Family in Egypt

Based on the book Jesus in Egypt by New York Times bestselling author Paul Perry.

Intrigued that only three years of Jesus' life are presented in the Bible, the plight of the Holy Family in Egypt became Perry's obsession - he interviewed hundreds of people from numerous religions, from document specialists, priests and bishops to Egypt's Coptic Pope - and began studying ancient texts to piece together the unknown. "There's five years of a mysterious gap in the life of Jesus. There are no stories in the Bible about what Jesus did in Egypt, but I knew that such stories existed in the form of oral tradition and stories written outside of the Bible," says Perry.

"This extraordinary film shows sites and tells stories about Jesus which are virtually unknown outside of Egypt," says Executive Producer Norman A. Miles, who formed Bent Pyramid Productions to create the documentary. "It reveals the secret childhood of Jesus."
