How it feels

This 1972 documentary captures Easter in Jerusalem with no narration, just images. It shows religious processions inside and outside the city walls along with prayers at the Wailing Wall. People from many faiths appear, and the camera records their slow movement through narrow streets, including the area near the Arab mosque.

What happens

Påske i Jerusalem er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1972 instrueret af Tue Ritzau efter eget manuskript. En observerende, ukommenteret film fra den gyldne by, som den kan tage sig ud under påskehøjtiderne. Filmen viser de religiøse processioner inden- og udenfor murene og bønnerne ved Grædemuren. Alle trosretninger er der, og processionerne bevæger sig langsomt igennem de små gader. Også området i nærheden af den arabiske moské er filmet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
