Inherit The Earth (film)

Director Yaky Yosha's first documentary feature, Inherit the Earth documents the combined efforts of Christians and Jews to make the Pope's visit to the Holy Land a successful one.

In the winter of 2000, Yosha and his crew documented all stages in the building of a massive amphitheater, for the one hundred thousand people scheduled to participate in an open air mass Pope John-Paul II would lead on the Mount of Beatitudes – where two thousand years earlier, Jesus of Nazarath gave the "Sermon on the Mount" to his followers.

For six weeks, two-dozen Jewish contractors and Christian priests worked back to back and against all odds, confronting deadline as well as deadly weather conditions.

Famous quotes containing the words inherit and/or earth:

    “Although I will inherit darkness
    I will keep dialing left to right.
    I will struggle like a surgeon.
    I will call quickly for the glare of the moon.
    I will even dial milk.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Ay, look: high heaven and earth ail from the prime foundation;
    All thoughts to rive the heart are here, and all are vain:
    Horror and scorn and hate and fear and indignation—
    Oh, why did I awake? When shall I sleep again?”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
