JAMES' JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM
Israel 2003; 87 min.
English/Hebrew/Zulu w/ subtitles
Director: Ra’anan Alexandrowicz
7:45 PM, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, PACIFIC PLACE
 |
In the imaginary African village of Entshongweni, young James is chosen to undertake a mission—a pilgrimage to Holy Jerusalem. But Israel is not the Holy Land that James and his people imagined.
At the airport, James is suspected of trying to infiltrate the country in order to work illegally. He is jailed and destined for deportation. From then on, James’ Journey turns into an unpredictable journey through the cruel heart of capitalism. Using a light touch to tell a deep story, director Alexandrowicz’ film is a poetic, humorous, and extremely deft exploration of the difficulties of keeping one’s faith. Nominated for seven Israeli Academy Awards, including Best Film and Best Director. |
