Jerusalem the Movie

(Originally aired: Dec. 1, 2015) Guests: Daniel Ferguson, Writer and Director of “Jerusalem”; Jodi Magness, PhD, Archeologist, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill There is ongoing international anger toward the Trump Administration for its plan to endorse Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the US embassy there from Tel Aviv. Jerusalem has long been disputed territory, with Jews, Christians and Muslims all laying claim to it as holy land. For that very reason, the initial United Nation’s plan to create Israel and Palestine designated Jerusalem as a neutral “international zone.” National Geographic’s IMAX movie “Jerusalem” gives background to understand these competing religious claims.
