Strong Female Character

Depicting the Virgin Mary

Director Catherine Hardwicke has been chosen to direct Nativity, a new film about Mary and Joseph before the birth of Christ.

Hardwicke was chosen because she could tell the story of Mary from a "strong female perspective".

The last film from a "strong female perspective" that Hardwicke directed was Thirteen. About an out of control teen-age thief and social misfit, living with an alcoholic single mother who has a drug-addict as a boyfriend.

Let us be the judges on this one!
