Yom Yerushalayim Program
Sunday, June 2, 3:45pm
In celebration of the 52nd anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, CAI invites you to the showing of the film, “James’ Journey to Jerusalem.”
South African actor Siyabonga Melongisi Shibe stars as a devout Christian who becomes part of Tel Aviv’s migrant force after making a pilgrimage from his African village to the Holy Land in director Ra’anan Alexandrowicz’s cinematic look at the contrast between hypocritical Western values and cultural Israeli divisions. After embarking on a religious journey to the Holy Land in a quest to find spiritual fulfillment, James (Shibe)’s subsequent involvement with the impoverished migrant workforce finds his religious journey sidetracked by an increasing desire to give his wealthy employers an unanticipated run for their money. (Run time: 90 min.). No charge to attend.
