Product Description

From Executive Producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, The Dovekeepers is based on the true events at Masada in 70 C.E. After being forced out of their home in Jerusalem by the Romans, 900 Jews were ensconced in a fortress at Masada, a mountain in the Judean desert. Besieged at Masada, the Jews held out for months against the vast Roman armies. The series recounts the events from the perspective of a few extraordinary women who arrive at Masada with unique back stories, but a common bond for survival. Additionally, these women, who work together daily as dove keepers, are all concealing substantial secrets.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent movie version

I bought this movie based on what I knew regarding this ordeal of Jewish history and I remember the mini series that came out years ago. I thought that series was really well done but because it was Hollywood's version...I was sure that things were added or bypassed for storyline. I took a chance and purchased this newer DVD and I am so glad I did! This was way better as far as being factual. I re-read the historical version by Josephus and the speech which Eleazar gave in the movie, although shortened, because his original speech to all of the people was almost 3 pages of small type in his book, was basically right on the money. The only way the story got told was because of two women and 5 children that hid down in the cistern and were spared. In Josephus version, once they killed everyone they burned a lot of the bodies in some of the buildings that were left and not burned from the barage of fire by the Romans. I also ordered the book to read. So yes I would recommend this DVD. It's not for kids because of situational sex scenes and a little nudity. The actors were great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dove Keepers as history
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2017

great movie, even though it is a fictional account of what transpired to the hundreds of Jews that were trapped on Masada, it is believable. The only other "witness" to the tragedy of Masada is Josephus. He is credited as being the only 1st century historian. However, some of his writings have been challenged by other historians. Josephus' writings on the Fall of Masada are found in his "Antiquities of the Jews." We do know that Rome attacked Israel in the 1st Century A,D. Many of the Jews fled to their ancient city of Jerusalem. It is believed that as many as one million people were at .Jerusalem. Rome built siege mounds around the city. In 70 A.D.Roman soldiers finally broke into the City and slaughtered everyone in and around the City of Jerusalem.Rome didn't like anyone who opposed them, even though Rome had conquered Israel for at least 100 years prior to this. Israel had tried unsuccessfully to overthrow Rome's rule several times. Rome decided to make an example of Israel, so that other colonies wouldn't try to revolt. Some sources state that Rome crucified thousands of people on the roads leading to Jerusalem. In 71 A.D. Rome returned and plowed Jerusalem and areas around it with salt, so that no crops would grow there. This fulfilled Biblical prophecy as God had repeatedly warned Israel about their apostasy and that He would scatter them all over the Earth. However, God promised Israel that one day He would return the Jewish people to Israel. On May 15, 1948, God fulfilled His promise as Israel was once again a nation. Once the Jews returned to Israel, God promised that they would never have to leave Israel again. In 2000-2,500 B.C. God made a promise to Abraham that his descendants would inherit the Promised Land thru his descendants- Issac and Jacob. Today, the Muslims claim Israel as they claim that Abraham's son through Hagar, his maidservant is the rightful heir. Yet, God was quite specific. " Through Issac shall your seed be numbered." Abraham fathered Issac through his wife Sarah. Today, we are still seeing the largest family feud in history.play out. Almighty God who declared that "I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you."

I really enjoyed this dramatized mini series about the story of the historic Masada tragedy. I am a loyal NCIS fan that has missed the Ziva character played by Cote DePablo, so it was nice to see her commendable performance in a movie. As with most made for TV dramatizations, the historic facts were not always accurately presented (the movie "MASADA" with Peter O'Toole is more accurate), but there were enough positive aspects to make this worth viewing, and I will definitely be watching it again periodically in the future. I will say that I really enjoyed the scenes when the Hebrew blessing was sung in Hebrew as it should be.

a beautiful story based on the story of Masada. I had seen this film but didn't remember the title until I started looking for the film "Masada" with Peter O'Toole. Can't find the O'Toole movie; this will suffice. For now.

I fell in love with this movie when it first came out. Many have torn it apart but for some reason I like it a lot. IE: why I purchased it after so many years. I am fascinated with Masada and Israeli history.

An entertaining telling of the story of Masada but fictionalized. It does follow the book fairly well for a movie and has a good cast. Cote de Pablo is her beautiful talented self as well as the others do in this presentation.

This movie is centered around the Siege of Masada and is a very enjoyable and educational presentation.
Most people know Cote de Pablo from her role as Ziva David in NCIS. It is a pleasure to see her here in an entirely different light.

This is one of the most striking stories/productions of all time.
An enveloping embrace with grace and the emotional weight that reaches right down to the depths of the soul.

Bringing together the extraordinary historic events of the sacking of Jerusalem and Masada by the Roman empire, this mini series follows the highs and lows and heartbreaking struggles of three incredible Judaic women.

This film brought joy to my heart and tears to my eyes. Intimate and epic, sensual and heroic, all through the eyes and senses of loved and shunned but courageous women who triumph over death and every obstical to bring to the historians their whitnessing of the devastating tale and tragedy of Masada.

If you are at all interested in ancient stories and historic tales, you won't go wrong with this.

This is not something I would typically watch, but I gave it a go as I am a fan of Cote and loved her as Ziva and in The 33. I'm so glad I watched this, I have gained much more insight into a historic event (I know that this is an adaptation of true events) and the story was beautiful. Excellent - would definitely recommend!
