In this article I examine religious documentary. I willanalyze Jesus e Sua Época (1995), and Quem Foi Jesus? (1996) About their structure and form I make a connection between this production and the one made by British Documentary Film Movement, investigating how religious institutions or its representatives appropriatedthis format, and adopted it to their apological and theological ends. Moreover, using data of a survey carried out on Video Stores on the different types of religious videos in the market and available to the public, I comment and categorize these productions.
