Program Description
The epic story of the world’s most incredible city captures the rich mosaic of Jerusalem’s Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities. Covering a sweeping history of over 4,000 years, this two-hour film explores the founding of the city; the birth and convergence of the world’s three major monotheistic religions; and the key events in Jerusalem’s history as described in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles, the Talmud, the Hagaddah, the Koran and the Hadith. Venturing deep into Jerusalem, highlights include: Mount Moriah, the site of the First and Second Temples; the Church of the Holy Sepulcher; the Dome of the Rock and the Western Wall. Hosted by Ray Suarez. Executive Producer/Director is Andrew Goldberg.
