Toronto film-maker Simcha Jacobovici and Academy Award-winning director James Cameron's The Lost Tomb of Jesus made its Canadian debut last night and debate over its validity continues to boil. In response to the great attention this documentary has received worldwide and across the country, Bell and VisionTV have teamed up to offer Canadian viewers rebroadcasts of the show in high definition (HD), exclusively through ExpressVu satellite.

Quick recap: In 1980, construction workers in Jerusalem uncovered a 2,000-year-old burial tomb. Archaeologists found 10 limestone ossuaries (bone coffins) inside -- six of them with inscriptions, all relating to names found in Gospels.

Described by VisionTV as "part Raiders of the Lost Ark, part CSI (someone call Spielberg)," the film chronicles the search for a forgotten first-century tomb, the investigation into who was buried there and then asserts that the uncovered data makes a persuasive case that the tomb belonged to the family of Jesus of Nazareth.

ExpressVu subscribers can (re)view the documentary in HD on Saturday, March 10th at 8pm ET and again on Thursday March 15th at 9pm and 12am ET on channel 832/157 (Vu HD3).
