THE FIRST HYMN

About
As a fundraiser for UNIFY, Warrnambool's network of church youth groups, we are excited to offer this screening! THE FIRST HYMN is a groundbreaking Australian-led documentary that revives Christianity’s oldest known hymn with musical notation, discovered on a fragment of papyrus from the ancient Egyptian city of Oxyrhynchus. This 1,800-year-old song, long buried in the sands of history, is brought back to life through modern worship, historical context, and cinematic storytelling.Directors, John Dickson and Mark Hadley along with artistic collaborators, Chris Tomlin, one of the most significant Christian music artists of our time, with over 12 million albums sold, 7 billion streams, 30 top 10 radio hits; and and Ben Fielding, Australian GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-platinum songwriter and artist.
