What happens
Location Hunting in Palestine or Sopralluoghi in Palestina per il vangelo secondo Matteo is a 1965 Italian documentary film directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini. Disappointed by the overly modern landscapes, Pasolini abandoned the idea of filming on the very sites where Christ lived. The film was ultimately shot in the Mezzogiorno (southern Italy).
