Description
UK English version of "Jonah" (the original has USA spelling).
A contemporary man, Jonah Michelakis is a teacher of Religions of the World. He "lives" epic scenes from the writings and scriptures of the ancient world – as real to his spell-bound students as to himself – such as a valley of dry bones which become a living, breathing army.
Though admired for his unparalleled oratory skills, and knowledge of the Tanakh, Bible, Qur'an, and other texts, he has a serious flaw – his inner anger and tendency to outbursts of rage – so hurtful to his family. Despite a warning from his boss and a family crisis which he causes - almost alienating his beloved daughter - no change is forthcoming... until the reluctant Jonah walks in the shoes of his namesake in a grittily realistic dream in a 'Jonah and The Whale' experience and witnesses true compassion firsthand.
