Wonderful!!! Heartwarming, compelling, sweet and a just plain good story. The writing was very well done, the acting believable. Never a dull moment. Very sincere. Even though I know the biblical account of Joseph very well, this portrayal kept you guessing what was going to happen next. I highly recommend this. The gentleman who played 'Joseph' did a fine job of portraying the favored son. I found his attempts to reach out to his brothers heart-wrenching. The father was excellent as the patriarch of the family. They did not portray him as 'perfect', but he obviously loved all of his sons. The twist in how they got rid of Joseph was very good. The brothers also did a fine job. They did not portray them as complete villains. It was an interesting piece. I'd like to see more...
