James'
Journey to Jerusalem
dir.
Ra'anan Alexandrowicz, Israel
, 2003, 35mm, 87 mins,
color, Hebrew, Zulu and English w/ English subtitles
 Young
James is chosen to undertake a mission - a pilgrimage from his
small village in Africa to holy Jerusalem. But Israel is no
longer the Holy Land that James and his people imagined. At
the airport, he is suspected of trying to infiltrate the country
in order to work illegally. He is jailed and destined for deportation.
Inside the dark cell, as James prays to God to allow him to
complete his mission,
a
miracle occurs. A mysterious stranger posts bail for him. It
soon becomes clear that James' freedom has come at a price -
his savior is a manpower agent, who rescues illegal migrant
workers
in
exchange for employing them in hard labor jobs. With good teachers,
a bit of luck and some lateral thinking, James learns the tricks
of the game and plays it towards an inevitable end.
