- debuts the Shroud of Turin, in which Christ’s body was wrapped when he supposedly rose from the dead.
- New discoveries in the past few years have again opened the question of its authenticity.
- The film-maker has issued a challenge worth $1m to the British Museum to prove it’s not a forgery.
- The documentary he made about the shroud won a Bafta in 1978, and brought it to the public eye in modern times.
