Jerusalem: The Movie - Daniel Ferguson

Jerusalem is a city revered by religions who stand for peace, but has begat unimaginable bloodshed throughout history: it has been conquered 44 times by armies representing one culture or another, transferred from a center of one religion to another 11 times, and it has been totally razed twice. The ancient city is the subject of a new film, Jerusalem the Movie, directed by Daniel Ferguson. Ferguson tells Boyd about his difficulties in getting permission to capture some of the city’s most beautiful neighborhoods and buildings, which are also areas of distrust and conflict between Israeli army and the Palestinian populations who live there.
