WALKING BACK TO JERUSALEM
In 2020, two friends wander through lockdown
London reflecting on the Just Walk to Jerusalem,
a journey undertaken three years prior calling for
equal rights in the Holy Land.
Against a zeitgeist of pandemic, lockdown and
global unrest, this quirky satirical documentary
tracks their journey ‘back’ to Jerusalem – in the
heart of London. Exploring the mosaic of
cultural inheritance surrounding Britain’s colonial
obsession with Palestine – and demolishing the
odd statue along the way – they set out to stop
Israel’s annexation of the West Bank and build
Jerusalem ‘in England’s green and pleasant land.’
