This black & white film is about Palestine and the Holy Land. At the time the region was part of the British Mandate. Mandatory Palestine was a geopolitical entity established between 1920-1948 in the region of Palestine under the terms of the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine. This film is copyright 1945 but the images probably date to the pre-war period.
