From ancient times to the latest developments in the Arab-Israeli peace talks, this program takes you on the most comprehensive tour of this remarkable city ever filmed. Stunning aerial photography, innovative reconstructions, and rare film footage capture thirty centuries of sweeping drama. Two tape set.
