The AntiChrist
History Channel, USA, 2005, 100 min
‘How would you recognize the most evil person on Earth? According to many historical texts, you should look for a brilliant, enigmatic public figure who transforms the world for good – for a while. Basically, the last person you’d tap as Satan’s human emissary. While many believe the Antichrist has come and gone, just as many believe he will soon arrive, if he’s not already in our midst.
THE ANTICHRIST takes a harrowing look at an evil so obscure that he answers only to Satan. Follow the emergence of the Antichrist from pre-Judaic texts, through the Book of Daniel and Revelation, into Christian writings of the Middle Ages, and beyond. Aided by interviewees with eminent clergy, scholars, historians and psychologists, this incisive program examines the evil enigma from every conceivable angle.’
