The Road to Jericho is a musical and visual journey—a poem in images, a hybrid of documentary and fiction that weaves archival images from earlier films—with the voices of Samuel Fuller, Jeanne Moreau, Arthur Miller, and Yitzhak Rabin, among others, into the contemporary reality of the Bedouins of Khan EI Ahmar, now threatened with eviction by settlers on this road to Jericho.
A poignant, sensitive meditation on human destinies on this desert land, steeped in history. A musical and visual journey. Memory, landscape, and present experience on the road to Jericho.
