Documentary Screening: The Sultan and the Saint In-Person
In recognition of January as Muslim-American Heritage Month, join us for a screening of The Sultan and the Saint. This award-winning PBS documentary chronicles the connection between Francis of Assisi and the Sultan of Egypt during the Crusades.
About the Film:
The Sultan and the Saint tells one of the great, lost stories from history. Set in a past period of East-West conflict, it speaks with urgency to our present. Two men of faith, one an itinerant Christian preacher, the other the ruler of a Muslim Empire, bucked a century of war, distrust, and insidious propaganda in a search for mutual respect and common ground.
