Till I Dry Your Tears
As Jesus approached Jerusalem and saw the
city, he wept over it and said, ‘If you, even you, had
only known on this day what would bring you peace – but
now it is hidden from your eyes.’ (Luke 19, 41-42)
Jews, Christians and Muslims live in the most crowded
conditions on a scant square kilometer in the Old City
of Jerusalem. How do they live, and how do their daily
interpersonal relationships function? To the outside
observer, everything seems peaceful. But how is it
really?
Along with my cameraman, I visited families, including
Palestinian ones, and clergymen from all three world
religions, to find out more about the situation there.
In addition, we looked in on a peace village between
Jerusalem and Tel Aviv called Neve Shalom Wahat al
Salam, which, with its work, is profoundly involved in
the peace process.
The film provides a very personal insight into the lives
of some of the people in Jerusalem, their fears, worries
and hopes. It points up to what degree the religious and
political issues are interrelated, and what point in the
peace process the people have reached.
Beyond this, famous representatives of the “Neve Shalom
Wahat al Salam” peace village tell us about their work
toward peace and how highly dissimilar groups of people
can succeed at living together in peace.
In addition, the film illuminates the fundamental
beliefs of the three world religions: Judaism,
Christianity and Islam.
