This event has passed

In Morocco, a Jewish-American architect, Mr. Kempler, struggles to win the release of his Arab wife, who has been charged with prostitution and detained in a Fez prison. Kempler is conviced she has been framed. Over a ten-day period, the architect meets regularly with the Third World colonel in charge of the prison to convince him to free his wife. 

The Road to Jerusalem is set in a bomb shelter just outside of Jerusalem. An American-born Israeli woman and a West German luxury car salesman have just buried two corpses as gunfire explodes over their heads. Just as the German and the Jew begin to find common ground, a wounded Palestinian refugee joins them. Although an attempt at cordial relations is made, the Arab rapes the Jew and kills the German.
