The Passion of Christ in the Rocinha Favela- would this ever be acceptable in Britain?

We watched a dramatic production, depicting the Passion of Christ in the Rocinha Favela. It was very raw with alot of blood; it showed the trial, suffering and the death of Jesus Christ.

There were over 45 thousand people who attended; this production has been going
on for several years in this favela. The energy was amazing, it felt as though the crowd was part of the production.

The image on the flyer was creatively thought out, it had an image of Jesus Christ on a cable post that symbolized the cross, with the favela in the background.
