ABOUT THE FILMBorn 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:

Muslime und Nicht-Muslime entfernen sich immer mehr voneinander. Was haben die
Ismaeliten dazu zu sagen?
