Holy Blood: The Temple Mount

The Most Sacred, The Most Volatile

The holiest sites are often the most explosive.

This is the story of the sacred sites in the Land of Israel, places where history stands still, yet continues to ignite the region's fiercest conflicts. These sites frequently dominate global headlines and dictate the political agenda of the Middle East. This is the epicenter of the conflict preventing peace between Jews and Palestinians: The Temple Mount, Joseph’s Tomb, the Tomb of the Patriarchs (Cave of Machpelah), and Rachel’s Tomb.

The series provides an intimate look at the spirit of sacrifice among both Jews and Palestinians, who do everything in their power to maintain their presence and proximity to what they hold sacred—even at the cost of erupting violence. It offers a rare, inside perspective on these holy sites and the believers dedicated to them by any means necessary.

Episode Description: The Temple Mount

 The episode explores two sides of a deeply volatile divide: on one hand, it follows the Temple Mount Faithful and the Temple Institute, focusing on the activities of activist Yehuda Glick. On the other, it documents the political 'powder keg' of the region by capturing the sermons delivered at the Dome of the Rock, which often contain sharp rhetoric against Israel and the Jewish people.
