Hollywood star and director Mel Gibson felt called by God to make his film The Passion of the Christ, a portrayal of the final 12 hours of Jesus' life on earth. Although the film has been criticized for being anti-Semitic, Gibson has never pointed a finger at the Jews. Instead, he says all of us are responsible for Christ's death.

In the movie, Gibson portrays this in a remarkable way. While Gibson's face never crosses the screen, we do see his hands once. They are the ones, with spike and hammer, nailing Jesus to the cross.
