Review:
An extremely well done documentary that relates the World's 3 great religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam to Jerusalem. Numerous key figures in the history of these religions and Jerusalem's history are examined in sufficient detail to provide a rich understanding of the people, places and beliefs covered. Very up-to-date coverage, great photography and dialogue. Very educational and insightful.# Actors: Ray Suarez
