James? Journey to Jerusalem



Made in 2003 and now available on home video, the Israeli film
"James' Journey to Jerusalem" is a scathing portrait of class
relations in Zionist society in general and the plight of
undocumented workers in particular. The latter group flocked to
Israel after the Intafada cut off the supply of Palestinian workers.
But James, a devout Zulu Christian, is not one of them. He has
instead been sent by his village on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Rather
than finding a holy city, he encounters something much more like
Sodom and Gomorrah. Director Ra'anan Alexandrowicz sees Israelis as
grubby, Mammon-worshipping exploiters who debase themselves and
anybody who comes into contact with them, including the saintly James.
