Animated Biblical Epic ‘Book of Joshua: Walls of Jericho’ Sets VOD Premiere in June

Book of Joshua: Walls of Jericho, a 2D-animated Biblical adventure, will premiere on major VOD streaming platforms from June 3.

The film recounts the story told in the Old Testament Bible‘s “Book of Joshua,” following the Israelites’ conquest of Canaan and the delivery of The Promised Land — long awaited succor after 40 years of oppression, suffering and famine following their liberation from slavery in Egypt. According to the Deuteronomist, the conquest of Canaan by Joshua and the Israelite tribes was swift and decisive.

Today, the site of Ancient Jericho contains archaeological evidence of human activity stretching back to 10,500 BC, showing dozens of phases of occupation through its stratigraphy. The site was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2023.

Synopsis: After 40 years of wandering the desert, the Israelites stand at the threshold of the Promised Land under Joshua’s leadership. Facing the impenetrable walls and fierce soldiers of the fortress Jericho, the poorly armed followers enact God’s improbable plan, which commands their priests to lead a procession around the city for seven days, carrying the Ark of the Covenant. As doubt and anticipation build, the march culminates in a triumphant blast of horns and voices raised unto the Lord, bringing the mighty walls crashing down.

One of history’s greatest victories, an article of faith for Jews and Christians alike, and a powerful testament to the reward of unwavering faith in divine promise.

Produced by PartingSeas Productions and distributed by BMG-Global, Book of Joshua: Walls of Jericho stars Mac Rogers as Joshua, Merri Jamison as Rahab, Xander Bailey as Moses, Allen Marsh as Salmon, Alistair David Herz as Caleb, Hannah Marie Lloyd as Sharon and McKenzie Harms as Achsah.

The film was written by Amir Kovacs and Tony Goss, directed by Tony Goss and produced by Amir Kovacs, with original music by Daniella Kor. The animation was produced by Abhijit Charkraborty and directed by Indraharayan Datta, who also served as the lead storyboard artist.
