Sorbo’s latest faith-based film, “Joseph and Mary,” out on DVD focuses on the story of Mary and Joseph as their newborn son inspires faith in unlikely places. In the film, Elijah, a devout Rabbi, during a time of unrest when King Herod the Great’s slaughter of innocents claims the lives of two boys Elijah had sworn to protect. Elijah makes it his life’s mission to avenge their deaths, but when he meets Joseph and Mary and their young son Jesus, the beliefs furling his revenge are put into question.The movie really deals with the birth of Jesus and the first years of His life. However, it doesn’t cover Jesus’ life as much as it covers what Joseph and Mary had to go through in terms of hiding who Jesus was given King Herod was hell bent on destroying this king who had been prophesied, Sorbo said.Sorbo really wanted to work on this film not only because of his interest in Christian films, but also because of his interest in the direction the writers went with Joseph’s story.“People know about Mary, they certainly know about Jesus. But no one really talks about Joseph,” Sorbo said.There’s little we know about Joseph given there are no recorded words for him in Scripture. We can learn a lot from Joseph’s story. His actions speak louder than his words and there’s a lot he can teach us through them. “The way that the writers went with this was really to show that [Joseph] was obviously a man of faith already and he felt more than humbled, more than blessed that he was chosen to take on this position and task so to speak as a protector of the Son of God,” Sorbo said. “I think he was in awe more than anything else and I hope it comes off that way in the movie.”
