I wanted to make Jerusalem as feature film. But we couldn't finance it only through theatrical release, we couldn't get all the money we needed. We had to get some money from television. So we said, ok, let's do it both ways. So we did it in four parts.

Summary

This quote explains the decision-making process behind creating a feature film about Jerusalem. The filmmaker desired to bring this project to the big screen but faced financial limitations with only a theatrical release. In order to secure the required funding, television distribution was also considered. As a result, the film was divided into four parts, allowing for both cinematic and broadcast release strategies. This approach allowed the filmmaker to combine the resources of theatrical and television platforms to bring their vision of Jerusalem to life.
