The Story Of Jonah / c01 / Jonah Runs For It

The Story Of Jonah is a series of entertaining, satirical documentaries created as a means to explore scripture through understanding history and perspective. The Story Of Jonah is a four chapter set of short films from the book of Jonah in the Old Testament, told from the viewpoint of several different characters that were (and may have been) involved in the story during that time. It's based on true events, but narrated by the fictitious son of C.S. Lewis, Beauford S. Lewis (Dirk Rowley, the voice of Fort Wayne's WAJI Majic 95.1 radio station) in a mockumentary style reminiscent of A&E's Biography. The films attempt to reveal historical, humorous, and insightful teachings through animated sequences and from candid interviews of the "alleged" biblical characters themselves.

In the first chapter, Jonah Runs For It, Jonah is called to preach against the Ninevites and he finds himself in doubt, questioning. So he turns to the advice of that famous 1980s band, Flock of Seagulls. So he ran. He ran so far away. That's why he finds himself treading water - both physically and spiritually. But things for Jonah are about to get fishy...
