AV Benefits:

Why the AV version? Because it provides additional usage options for PBS videos. AV versions come with limited performance rights so they can be shown in classrooms, at PTA meetings, during after school programs, and transmitted on a closed-circuit system within a building or on a single campus. They also can be enjoyed in admission-free public screenings, which also makes them ideal for use by library patrons and businesses involved in community clubs and organizations.

Professional Reviews:

"... a top notch effort ... that is both timely ... and timeless" - Tony Perry, The Los Angeles Times

"A wonderful idea...well executed... the overall effect - to paraphrase the poet - is to arrive at the place where it all started, yet know it for the first time. Grade: A" - Verne Gay, Newsday

"For anyone who wants a better understanding of Jerusalem and its layers, its history dating back 40 centuries, its conflicts and its mystical and earthly significance, you should take a look." - The Indianapolis Star
