story, The Nativity Story is poised to come to the big

and the history-defining birth of Jesus. The dramatic

census ordered by King Herod. It is a journey of over
100 miles, through treacherous terrain, made much more
difficult by the fact that Mary is nine months pregnant.

of Dogtown) from a screenplay written by Mike Rich (The
Rookie, Finding Forrester). The producers are Wyck Godfrey
