About “Trek to the Holy Land”
Run time 59 min.
In the wake of the tragic attack on the World Trade Center, the Rev. Al Sharpton assembled delegation to travel to Israel and Palestine to meet with leaders on both sides of the turmoil in the Middle East. Filmmaker Edward Harris was among those visiting the region, and his camera vividly documents the group’s meetings with Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister of Israel Shimon Peres and President of the Palestine Authority Yasser Arafat. Candid sessions with the renowned spokesmen on both sides of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict provide viewers with the background and history of the Holy Land and the circumstances that have made them mortal enemies. The group was also follows the path to Golgotha where many believe Jesus Christ was crucified and to see where His body rested in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Harris’s camera captures another perspective of the world’s most beautiful and dispute land in modern times. (source NYLIFF)

About “Skin”
Run time 107 min.
A genetic abnormality caused Sandra Laing, born of white parents in South Africa, to look like a black person. This strange twist fuels Anthony Fabian‘s strong drama, based on a true story. Sophie Okonedo is superb in the lead, as are Sam Neill and Alice Krige as her caring but occasionally out-of-touch parents. (source: NYLIFF)
