The film, 'The Nails of the Cross' by Simcha Jacobovici, follows three years of research during which he presents his assertions - some based on empirical data, others requiring much imagination and a leap of faith.
He hails the find as historic, but most experts and scholars dismissed his case as far-fetched, some calling it a publicity stunt.
Back then, nails were hand made by a blacksmith. They were very costly. Whenever possible, they would have been re-used, and given that when the historical Jesus was crucified, he was not seen as special, and the nails used on him would not have been saved.
