Simcha Jacobovici of Associated Producers catches up on his reading in Exodus Decoded, a 90-minute second look at the biblical story and new evidence that the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea and other key events actually occurred. The roughly $4-million project took six years of research and three years to shoot, and aired on Discovery Canada on April 16. Jacobovici cohosts the CG-heavy show with exec producer James Cameron.

‘You think of Hollywood filmmakers, you don’t think they’ll be experts on Minoan art,’ Jacobovici says. ‘He was always one step ahead of me.’
