Reel 1. British Instructional Films presentation. Map of Europe and Africa showing the location of the the Mediterranean Sea. Camera zooms in to show the location of Palestine - voiceover states that this is the country where Jesus Christ lived. “A journey down the valley of the River Jordan may help us to understand more clearly some of the things Christ said and did.“ Location of Mount Hermon, Lake Hula, Sea of Galilee, Capernaum, Tiberias and the Springs of Dan are indicated on the map. Journey starts at the foot of Mount Herman. Landscapes with the snow capped mountain in the background. Panning shot of the river with foliage on the riverbank. The Springs of Dan are shown. The Hebrew tribe of Dan are mentioned. The river runs south, another landscape view - “almost English in appearance.“ A shepherd and his flock are seen in M/S, he approaches the camera. A “modern“ road bridge crosses the river, a man rides a horse over the bridge and a herd of cattle wade out into the water to drink.
