The
visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the Holy land
was a long awaited event, which drew attention
from media networks worldwide. PBS, America’s
public broadcasting station, sent presenter
Kim Lawton and producer editor Patti Hanley
to cover the Pope’s visit to the Holy
Land as well as a variety of side stories. |

The visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the Holy land |
Biblical Productions provided the crew, transport,
equipment and research for the filming that took the
crew from Jerusalem to Bethlehem and into Deheishah
Refugee Camp before exploring the old city of Jerusalem
during the Pope’s stay in the Holy City. The
parents’ circle, which provides support to Palestinian
and Israeli parents who have lost children in the
conflict, was as much topic as the visit of a delegation
of international religious leaders to Israel to work
towards interfaith understanding and coexistence.
Kim Lawton, PBS’s long-term presenter for Religion
& Ethics Newsweekly, handled all situations and
plenty of different interview partners with much skill
and grace and Patti Hanley adeptly edited and cut
together their weekly stories. Biblical Productions
is pleased to see that PBS has returned to Israel
after working with them several years ago and we thoroughly
enjoyed working with such a wonderful crew.
