BARABBAS
By Paul A. Kimball

GENRE: Period Piece, Action
LOGLINE:

In 30 A.D., a charismatic stonemason leads a band of guerrilla rebels in a war against the Roman occupation of his homeland, setting in motion a collision that splits history in two.

SYNOPSIS:

Barabbas has grown up under the oppression of the Roman Empire, but everyone has a breaking point. After the Romans sack the temple treasury and murder his best friend, Barabbas and his brother rally their fellow masons to rise up against the tyranny surrounding them. They wage a bloody guerrilla war against the Romans, all while maneuvering the murky politics of their own people. When the lines between freedom and oppression, grace and vengeance, redemption and hatred begin to tear the rebels apart, events are set in motion that will split history in two...when a guilty man is freed and an innocent man is put to death.

Co-writer: Parker Jamison.

Hi Paul, very interesting to have the story of "Barabbas", instead of (only) that of Jesus. The logline works but only in combination of the title. Otherwise I don't really know what the story is about.
