The film "The Spirit of Jerusalem" deals with Al-Aqsa Mosque with all that it contains and the surrounding stones and people... This is done through a visual display of people and stones in Jerusalem supported by a dramatic narrative that reflects that holy spirit of people and stones... Where the depths of those sites and their details are delved into with all that they carry of sanctity and their impact on their visitors. This represents a true story with its dramatic development as the film begins its first stage by introducing the Al-Aqsa Square and the most important sites it contains, for example, but not limited to, the Al-Qibli Mosque, the Dome of the Rock Mosque, the courtyards, and the Buraq Wall, and the importance of this site and its sanctity as it is the site from which our noble Prophet ascended to the seven heavens, and here that holy spot represents the center in which the events take place and around it.. The film also reviews the historical sites surrounding Al-Aqsa that are geographically and spiritually linked to Jerusalem, for example, but not limited to, the Church of the Resurrection, the Mosque of Omar bin Al-Khattab, Al-Maqasid Hospital, and the City of David. In addition to the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and the Qattanin Market And the neighborhoods of Jerusalem, the airport mosque, and the land of Justmaniya... By reviewing these sites, especially the holy ones, and delving into their details and the details of the lives of their residents, visitors, and frequenters, it becomes clear through reviewing the film the extent of the spirituality they enjoy as a result of being in Al-Aqsa and its environs, and the effect of that on their distinction, strength of faith, patience, and facing difficulties in order to remain in Al-Aqsa and defend it.. Then the film moves to the second stage, where it reviews the suffering that the people of Jerusalem encounter as a result of the restrictions they face from the occupation authorities, and this is clear from their narration of that suffering in its psychological, physical, and living forms, which represent restrictions and obstacles for them in the simplest details of their lives... With the chronological progress of the film and the dramatic development of the film, we move to the third stage, where the people of Jerusalem insist on steadfastness despite everything they encounter and face from the arrogance of the occupation, soldiers, and settlers... This legendary steadfastness becomes like a historical epic carried out by an unarmed people against occupation forces armed with the latest weapons... Then The film moves to the fourth and final stage, where the challenge and hope for liberation are present. You can hardly find a Jerusalemite living in Jerusalem and its environs without the liberation being a reality before him. The hope for liberation is not only found in the souls of the Jerusalemites, but you feel it as a reality as you dive into the spirit of Al-Aqsa and Jerusalem. You feel it in every square, every alley, every corner, and every stone, as if it speaks of this hope and confident faith in God, which is the secret of this steadfastness of people and stones in the face of the occupier.
