    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In February 2017, 'The Sultan and the Saint' was awarded as Best Film on Religion in Calcutta International Cult Film Festival, in India.
    • Goofs
      A little over sixteen minutes into the film, the words Francis speaks when first beginning to preach in the streets pretty much quote the so-called "Prayer of Saint Francis," and this famous prayer has long been attributed to Francis. However, no proof exists that Francis ever composed or spoke these words. Its origin has been traced back to 1912 when it was first printed in a Catholic magazine in France. It presumably became associated with Francis because of characterizing in prayer form the basic spiritual values that he embraced.
    • Crazy credits
      Assuming this movie story is based on the book "The Saint and the Sultan" (same story) why was the name changed to The Sultan and the Saint?

    An unbiased view
    At last a truthful version of the terrible wrongs committed by all sides during the Crusades. In between this chaos some people came to the fore and history became slightly changed for the better.

    The feud was and is not between Christians and Muslims, but between good and wrong from any perspective. It is not religion that is a problem, but fanaticism. This viewpoint is still the real evil in this world.

    Used to the good, religion can be a powerful draw card to make this Earth a haven of peace through cooperation with each other, with all living in prosperity.
