written & narrated Phil Johnson
filmed & edited by Jim Tolhurst
A documentary film on Israel and the Middle East.
It is without doubt one of the most beautiful and sympathetic documentaries ever made on Israel and is also distinguished by its outstanding photography.
My wife and I were discussing this film; and she remarked that you 'have a tremendous feeling for people,' with the characterizations that have come through.-- Ben Bavly, President, B'nai B'rith Council of New Orleans
July 5, 1971
I saw you use light and shadow, I saw you use sunrise and sunset, I know exactly where you stood and how -- and if ever I behald a work of artistry, your photography is that work.
I now appreciate the awesome task which faces a photographer and film editor when he attempts to make his film say exactly what he wants. You did just this in your Israel film.-- Phillip M. Hannan, Archbishop of New Orleans
April 22, 1971
The photography was magnificent. Throughout, it was a beautifully-written, excellently-photographed, perfectly-edited film.-- Tom Finney, P.R. Director, Archdiocese of New Orleans
