The men of the Bible have had their story told and now it is time for the women to have their tale shared in The Red Tent tonight and tomorrow at 9p on Lifetime.
The movie starts out with Jacob (Iain Glen) meeting Rachel (Morena Baccarin) and falling in love with her. He asks her father to marry her, but on their wedding night her old sister Leah (Minnie Driver) shows up instead. The next day, he confronts their father and insists that he should be married to Rachel. Seven years later they are finally married.
The three of them are living happily together. Leah has given him a lot of sons, but Rachel has yet to give him any children. Eventually, Rachel has a son named Joseph and Leah has a daughter named Dinah (Rebecca Ferguson). Since she is the only girl in the family of 12 boys she is treated differently than her brothers. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t very protective over her.
One day Dinah goes the castle and meets the Prince. The two of them fall instantly in love and decide to marry without her father’s approval. Jacob isn’t happy about this and tells the King that all the men of his Kingdom must get a circumcision if his son wants to remain married to his daughter. The men all agree to get snipped. Even though they agreed to this term, her brothers are still upset that she married the Prince and do something shocking about it.
What happens next is of Biblical proportions and you will want to see Genesis come to life in this 2 part miniseries.
