"You are nobody if you don't remember where you come from." - Father David Neuhaus
Drawing from this powerful statement, "One Rock, Three Religions" explores humanity's
connection to one of the world's most revered and disputed places, Jerusalem's Haram
Al Sharif or The Temple Mount.
Jerusalem has been at the center of some of humanity's most creative and dramatic periods. Today it finds itself again at the crossroads between East and West. The Israel-Arab conflict has defied resolution for decades. It has horrified and outraged with its cynicism and cruelty. In the light of recent developments, we find the urgency to try to "connect" with the history of this place, the people, their beliefs...to finally find a
key which can allow people to accept each other.
