About the film
AN ISLAMIC CONSCIENCE: the Aga Khan and the Ismailis
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.
His Highness the Aga Khan is the
spiritual leader of Ismaili Muslims, a Shi’ite sect with 15 million
followers around the 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?
