"James' Journey to Jerusalem"
2003
Directed by Ra'anan Alexandrowicz

A Christian African discovers the rough realities of the Western world during his spiritual pilgrimage to Jerusalem in this poignant satire. James (an impressive Siyabonga Melongisi Shibe) yearns to be a pastor, so he travels from his small village to Jerusalem to experience the holiest of cities. The plans change, though, when the innocent, dreadlocked pilgrim is denied entrance into the city and locked in a cell with other immigrants. A new journey begins when James is bailed out by a stranger who introduces the boy to the corruptions of capitalism. "A morality tale that transcends its specific details to resonate with a universality" (Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter). English, Hebrew and Zulu with English subtitles.  87 minutes.
