Jerusalem is a holy city, not only for Jews but also for Christians and Muslims. Since time immemorial, each of the three great monotheistic religions has claimed the city as its own. Long-lasting, bloodthirsty conflicts were the result. Jerusalem, a bone of contention for over 2000 years. Now more than ever.
Without its pre-eminent significance for these religions, Jerusalem would be merely one among a hundred other desert cities - interchangeable, unimportant.
This film by Georg Graffe draws a portrait of a city for which Judaism, Christianity and Islam have been both a blessing and a curse.
