Judith of Bethulia

An epic biblical adaptation centered on a widow's courageous deception to save her besieged people, balancing spiritual conviction with the horrors of war and starvation.

Griffith adapts the story of the Apocryphal Book of Judith to the screen. During the siege of the Jewish city of Bethulia by the Assyrian tyrant Holofernes, a widow named Judith forms a plan to stop the war as her people suffer in starvation, nearly ready to surrender.
