In today’s episode, Shanna Fuld sits down with film and TV producer Matti Leshem, the creative force behind Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints, now entering its second season on Fox Nation. We dive into the politics, religion, and storytelling behind the series — including how it frames accurate narratives around major biblical figures. Matti shares how Israeli actors became central to the cast in episodes set in the time of Christ, including Dar Zuzovsky as Mary Magdalene, Liav Osher Turjeman as Peter, and Ariel Yagan as Jesus. Actors were taken out of Israel via catamaran during the Iran war to get them to location.

It’s a seriously fascinating conversation at the intersection of faith, media, and identity — and one that resonates deeply with Israeli audiences and anyone curious about how sacred stories are told on screen.
