This documentary tells the story of the world's most incredible city, capturing the rich mosaic of the city's Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities. Covering a history of over 4,000 years, the 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 varied religious sacred books.

"'Tis the season for thoughtful PBS documentaries on the Holy Land, and this one manages the job nicely." - Verne Gay, NEWSDAY (NEW YORK)
