As the divide between the Muslim world and the West continues to grow, it is
time to hear the story of a Muslim leader who has been persevering for fifty
years to promote a vision of pluralism, religious tolerance, and positive
social action. This is the first documentary in 45 years on the Aga Khan,
the leader of the world¹s Shia Ismaili Muslims. What does he have to say
about this post 9-11 world? And can his example help to bridge the growing
divide?
The film will be followed by a Panel Discussion with:
Firas Ahmad: Deputy Editor of Islamica Magazine (KSG '05)
Ali Asani: Professor of the Practice of Indo-Muslim Languages and Culture
(Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations)
Bill Cran: Emmy Award-Winning Director

Moderated by Jocelyne Cesari: Director of the Islam in the West Program
