About. As a documentary film writer for 25 years I produced a diverse range of subjects such as Making Movies, W.W.II: The Frank Capra Documents, Deep Space Encounters and biographical films of The Beatles and James Dean. The first century History has always been an underlying intrigue throughout. "Ben Hur II - Exile" is a work of ten years research with scholars, writers, religious figures, historians and discerning members of the general public. I took actual historical archives and re-wrote them for today's audiences. "Ben Hur II - Exile" is designed to 'mainstream' the ancient historical texts in a reader-friendly mode to make this history a stirring read. The tedious and complicated archives, biblical references and its charismatic figures come alive with the historical events infused with real-life emotive dialogue and dramatic action. Its vast clickable index of archives, quotes, archaeological relics and Time-Lines act as an ever handy reference almanac and is enhanced with 52 lavish biblical paintings, illustrations and new art works. Fractional dates are rounded; similar names (such as ‘Eleazar’) are presented as one person.It all began with: 'What do you think this war was really all about?' Thereafter it became complicated. The results are quite unconventional, but I believe, historically faithful. What do you think the Roman war with the Jews was all about?
