Waar de hemel zong
In 1954, White Father Eric Weymeersch was commissioned to film Palestine’s remaining biblical sites before they vanished forever. Wandering like a pathfinder through a Holy Land in turmoil following the creation of Israel, he had to navigate intense suspicion and threats between two hostile communities. From filming the first kibbutzim to capturing endangered historical ruins, Weymeersch urgently documented a shifting landscape. This unique religious reportage stands today as an invaluable, gripping historical document.
Cast: Jordana Cohen, Monseigneur Hakin
