ATLANTA — "Jerusalem," opening at Fernbank Museum of Natural History’s IMAX Theatre on Jan. 3, is a breathtaking new film that explores, on a grand scale, the intersection of science, history and religion in this ancient, enigmatic place. Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch ("Star Trek into the Darkness," PBS’s "Sherlock"), "Jerusalem" gives audiences a rare glimpse of the storied city, as well as exclusive access to iconic holy sites — including the Western Wall, the Dome of the Rock, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Jordan River, the Sea of Galilee and the mountain fortress of Masada — and to little-known parts of the region. "Jerusalem" presents the story from many perspectives —interviewing a prominent archaeologist and following real-life inhabitants of the ancient city to explore the enduring appeal of this unique crossroads of civilization.
