ABOUT THE FILM

Born into a world of wealth and privilege, he devotes his life to eliminating poverty and inequality. A religious leader who traces his ancestry back to the Prophet Muhammad, he struggles to balance the traditional with the modern.

For the past five decades, the Aga Khan has been the spiritual leader and Imam of the 15 million Ismaili Muslims in a world that has changed dramatically. From the end of colonialism and the expulsion of the Asians in Uganda to the fall of the Iron Curtain and 9/11, the Aga Khan has struggled for a common humanity in a divided world.

At a time when Islam is at odds with itself and with the West, the Aga Khan represents a voice of moderation, speaking out for pluralism and diversity, and promoting dialogue between civilizations.

But will he be heard?

In the first documentary on the Aga Khan in 50 years, filmmakers Bill Cran, Shamir Allibhai and Jane Chablani shed light on these issues. For further information see the attached flyer or go to the website: www.agakhanfilm.org


Wer ist der Aga Khan? Wer sind die Ismaeliten? Muslime und Nicht-Muslime entfernen sich immer mehr voneinander. Was haben die Ismaeliten dazu zu sagen?
