Not exactly a documentary, not exactly a drama, not merely a debate, and not only a polemic, this film seeks to rescue the figure of Judas Iscariot from the staleness of two thousand years of Christian memory.In the popular imagination Judas is still the money grubbing bagman of the Apostles, the wart, hook-nosed treasurer who welcomes Satan into his heart and betrays the President/Redeemer for less than the price of a decent slave. At best the question is sometimes raised that he has been treated shoddily. Outside of the efforts of German Romanticism and a few obscure diabolist sects, no serious attempt at a rehabilitation of Judas Iscariot’s character has been tried.SORRY JUDAS re-evaluates not just the biography of Christ’s betrayer, and the motives for this characterization but the case for his ever having existed at all.Was Judas the means by which a God could be sacrificed and his worshippers cleansed of guilt? Could there be a Christian Myth without him? And had it not been for him, named like the Jewish people themselves and metamorphosing over the centuries into the archetype of the Wandering, God-murdering Jew, would anti-Semitism ever have become such a virulent force?What would happen, how different a place would the world become, if Judas were to clear his name?
