Genesis: The Creation and the Flood (also called Genesi: La creazione e il diluvio in Italy or The Bible: Genesis in Australia) is a 1994 television film shot in Morocco, directed by an Italian film director, renowned Ermanno Olmi. It is based on the Book of Genesis, first book of the Hebrew Bible, where creation of the world and Great Flood are described.
This film utilizes a cast of native Bedouins. Text of Genesis is read by a narrator, who at times appears as an elderly desert nomad telling the story to his extended Bedouin family.
Modern clips of warfare and destruction are used to illustrate some Old Testament pronouncements about the evils practiced by mankind. The script fairly accurately follows the first nine chapters of Genesis, with a few added portions, like excerpts from the Song of Songs, Leviticus 26, and Psalm 50.
The story begins with the creation of the world. This is told by an old desert shepherd, whose grandson is very young and curious.
Oldman also mentioned first couple of human beings, Adam and Eve, their sin and temptation by the snake, which led to their banishment from the Garden of Eden.
