HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is inviting church leaders in north Alabama and southern Tennessee to attend a free viewing of “JERUSALEM” in its National Geographic Theater. This unique opportunity gives religious leaders a rare glimpse into the city that is sacred to three major religions through the stories of Jewish, Christian and Muslim families who call it home.
Actor Benedict Cumberbatch narrates the film that follows renowned archaeologist Dr. Jodi Magness as she travels underground to solve some of this city’s greatest mysteries. The film also takes viewers to little-known parts of the ancient, storied city, as well as exclusive access to iconic holy sites — including the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Rock, the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee and the mountain fortress of Masada.
Filmmakers were granted special permission to film in the region’s strict no-fly zone, enabling them to capture the first-ever large format aerial images of the Old City and throughout the Holy Land. Unprecedented access to the city's holiest sites as well as rare and breathtaking footage make “JERUSALEM” a unique and stunning cinematic experience.
Special showings for church leaders are scheduled for Tuesday, March 3, and Thursday, March 5, at 10 a.m. Seating is limited and is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
