Inherit the Earth (film)

Inherit the Earth is director Yaky Yosha's first documentary feature. It documents the combined efforts of Christians and Jews to make the Pope's visit to the Holy Land a successful one.

In the winter of 2000, Yosha and his crew documented all stages in the building of a massive amphitheater, for the one hundred thousand people scheduled to participate in an open-air mass Pope John-Paul II would lead on the Mount of Beatitudes – where two thousand years earlier, Jesus of Nazarath gave the "Sermon on the Mount" to his followers.

For six weeks, two-dozen Jewish contractors and Christian priests worked back to back and against all odds, confronting deadline as well as deadly weather conditions.
