The Passion in Ten Minutes?

I am trying to convince Churches Together to do something more creative, more public friendly, for Good Friday.  We have booked the Community Centre and the usual crowd are going to do the usual activities for children, but I wanted to move things on a bit from the, usually very dull, adult service that runs in parallel, so the idea is to offer a 'drop in' with free tea and hot cross buns as the carrot, so to speak.  Once inside - and hopefully before they reach the room with refreshments (I could almost get a job in a retailing) - the hope is to offer various 'zones' for people to explore - with for example a labyrinth, a place to light a candle and reflect, some images, etc.  One of the things that would be good would be to find a suitable short video of the Passion narrative that runs for not more than 10 minutes (ideally 5) so that people can actually focus on what it's all about.  I know I could use an extract from something like the Jesus video, and copy the relevent chunk to a DVD, but that's a tad clumsy and illegal to boot, so I wondered if anyone knew of anything suitable that could be used?

Of course, the planning meeting might over rule me and say thay want the usual, boring, communal reading of the fourth gospel account...
