It’s Palm Sunday, and for all those who celebrate the religious event, we suggest spending the night watching a TV movie airing on National Geographic.

Nat Geo Mundo presents “Quien Mato a Jesus,” a three-hour television special to air globally at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday, March 29th.

The movie is based on the best-selling book by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard and tells the story of how Jesus’ message and preachings led to his persecution and execution by a group of conspirators who saw him as a threat to their power.

“Quien Mato a Jesus” stars Kelsey Grammar, Rufus Sewell and John Rhys Davies and is produced by Scott Free Productions.

The special premieres on Nat Geo Mundo on Palm Sunday, a christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter, commemorating Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
