Excellent Documentary

Beautifully made with total objectivity and presentation of Agakhan and his role as a Muslim to bridge the divide between east and west at a time when there is lot of mistrust of what Islam stands for.The movie starts with scenes to show how Agakhan enjoys total support from his followers who live in various parts of the world and give him the utmost loyalty. The movie features Agakhan's interview where he clearly shows his irritation of ignorance in West as to what Islam stands for, how west after 9/11 has branded all Muslims with the same paint of brush. The documentary highlights Agakhan's various institutions carrying out humanitarian projects in under developed counties and shows Agakhan's passion to reach out people in need by building hospitals and schools. Shamir has produced a great documentary.
