If you can find it anywhere, "The Little Drummer Girl":

Kind of old at this point, but still relevant.

It seems like it was an interesting time - the Roman Empire had financial interests in Jerusalem but otherwise left those weird monotheist people alone, and they had a whole, in-depth culture which probably only partially survives today.

Are there any good documentaries to show us what this world was like?


There's the 9-part "Heritage: Civilization and the Jews." You might want to check out the first few episodes on Youtube.

This one is actually really interesting.

What is the meaning of "balanced"? Isn't "what happened and who were the players and what were the events" good enough?
