The film also captures the rich mosaic of modern Jerusalem’s Christian, Jewish, and Muslim communities while featuring interviews with leading scholars and clergy.

In this landmark series, New York Times best-selling author Bruce Feiler travels with American pilgrims on six historic routes to Lourdes, Japan, Jerusalem, Mecca, India, and Nigeria—changing how we view our own spiritual journeys. Sacred journeys are as old as humanity, yet they are more popular today than ever before. Every Muslim is called to make the Hajj at least once in a lifetime, and this video gives a rare, intimate look at the experience. Follow a group of Boston pilgrims as they take their first journey, and gain a better understanding of the faith shared by 1/4 of the world's population. Distributed by PBS Distribution. (54:42)
