The Red Tent (2014)

Embark on an extraordinary journey into the uncharted territories of ancient womanhood with Dinah, a figure only briefly alluded to in the biblical book of Genesis. This epic miniseries, narrated through Dinah's evocative voice, paints a vivid canvas of her world, taking us deep into the heart of the red tent - the sanctuary where women retreated for birth, menstruation, and healing. Dinah's saga unfolds with the tales of her mothers - Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah, the four wives of Jacob. Their love for Dinah is palpable, nurturing her with gifts meant to uphold her through a life of labor, a midwife's vocation, and adapting to a foreign homeland. Dinah unveils the secrets of her tribe's religious and sexual rites, giving us a glimpse into Jacob's unique courtship with his four wives. The miniseries transports us into the enchanting world of ancient times - of caravans traversing the desert, hardworking farmers, humble shepherds, and enslaved peoples; of passion and mortality in the city of Shechem; of Dinah's half-brother Joseph's ascent in Egypt. Yet, it does not shy away from the darker hues of her life, bringing to light her violation and its devastating aftermath. In "The Red Tent," you'll discover the resilience and complexity of ancient womanhood, made all the more compelling by Dinah's lyrical narration. This immersive exploration of a world often overlooked by history promises to captivate and inspire.

The Red Tent is an action show featuring Minnie Driver.
