YOU KNOW OUR PROBLEM?
TOO MUCH HISTORY. NOT ENOUGH GEOGRAPHY.

Crossing Jerusalem describes 24 hours in the life of an Israeli family in March 2002, as they cross Jerusalem at the beginning of the latest intifada. Over this 24 hours, personal and political history burst into the present. A complex family drama explodes in the most politically tense city in the world.
