n the beginning, director Daniel
Ferguson wasn't keen on making
a film about Jerusalem.
"I didn't want to do this film at first. I
thought it had been done
But he discovered the holy city always
has one more movie in it, and more than
a few surprises. The film Ferguson made,
the 45-minute Jerusalem, is scheduled
to open Friday, Feb. 8, at the Henry Ford
IMAX Theatre in Dearborn.
Shot in 3-D and wide-screen formats,
Jerusalem focuses on the square-mile of
the Old City, which Ferguson says pro-
vides "eye-popping, intoxicating" images
just waiting for 3-D audiences.
The film avoids politics. And it
seeks to skirt the equally distorting
Jerusalem-as-museum approach. What's
left? Plenty, it turns out.
With narration by Benedict
Cumberbatch, Jerusalem takes view-
ers back to the beginning, or earlier,
to a large outcrop near the city of the
Jebusites, whose inhabitants would go to
the rock formation and worship the sun.
"I had not seen anything about pagan
Jerusalem in film before Ferguson says
in a telephone interview.
After David conquered the city, his son,
Solomon, built the Israelite Temple on that
outcrop. And after the Second Temple was
destroyed by the Romans, Jerusalem even-
tually became a Christian holy city. When
the Muslims conquered the city, they
built the Dome of the Rock on the Temple
Mount, above the ancient outcrop.
Ferguson and his crew took their
cameras to the Temple Mount and shot
the Dome of the Rock and the nearby
al-Aqsa Mosque. It took three years
of negotiations with Muslim authori-
ties, and the governments of Israel and
Jordan, to secure permission, Ferguson

Isaac and where the Temples stood.

says. Shooting from the air required
accompaniment by Israeli police.
The director also went underground.
Beneath the Church of the Holy
Sepulcher, he found 1,700-year-old graf-
fiti etched in stone: a ship and the words,
"0, Lord, we have come here
The film asks, "Why Jerusalem?" How
did a remote mountain town become the
"navel of the world?"
"Jerusalem is many cities: imagined and
real; past and present; Jewish, Christian,
Muslim and secular; the film declares.
Archaeologist Jodi Magness
helps explain the story of the many
Jerusalems, one built upon the other
over the millennia.
But it is Ferguson's use of three young
Jerusalem women — a Jew, a Christian
and a Muslim — that makes the multiple,
overlapping Jerusalems that exist today
vivid and comprehensible. We see life
there through their very different eyes as
they walk through the streets, visit holy
sites within steps of their homes and cel-
ebrate festivals with their families.
"The girls would bring me to some of
the exact same places in the city, but tell
me different things:' Ferguson has said.
It is the three girls who show
Jerusalem as a place of people.
Through them, Ferguson is able, for
just a moment, to bring their multiple
Jerusalems together. ❑

The Jerusalem Challenge National Geographic Entertainment has
teamed up with the Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
for a competition in conjunction with the North American launch of the film
Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Challenge will be an opportunity for people in
the U.S. and Canada to share their work or ideas on how to build awareness
and understanding among people of different backgrounds, cultures and
beliefs. The grand-prize winner in each of two age categories is a trip for
two to Jerusalem and $2,500 to put toward the work already being done by
the winner or to help make the winning idea a reality. Now through March 2,
entrants should submit applications online at http://facebook.com/
jerusalemthemovie, the Facebook page for Jerusalem.
