For nearly two millennia, his name has been synonymous with ultimate treachery. But hidden beneath the desert sands lies a text that will turn history on its head.
 
In the Christian narrative, Judas Iscariot is solidified as the ultimate villain—the disciple who sold out the Messiah for thirty pieces of silver. But in the late 1970s, a crumbling, leather-bound papyrus codex emerges from an Egyptian cave, shifting through the black market for decades before a team of elite scientists rescues it from turning to dust. What they decipher from its ancient, faded script challenges the very foundation of biblical history.
 
In this explosive, award-winning investigative documentary, follow a team of top-tier biblical detectives, radiocarbon dating specialists, and multispectral imaging experts on a high-stakes race against time. Together, they peel back the fragile layers of a 1,700-year-old lost gospel. What if the man branded history’s greatest traitor was actually Jesus’s most faithful servant? What if the betrayal was not an act of malice, but a secret command from Christ himself? Combining stunning, movie-quality dramatic recreations with intense forensic analysis, The Gospel of Judas is a riveting cinematic journey into Gnostic mysticism, forgotten history, and the shocking diversity of the early Christian world.
