Film Screening: The Sultan and the Saint

(All day)

Location: 

26 Powderhouse Rd, Groton, MA 01450, USA
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. It is the story of Francis of Assisi and the Sultan of Egypt, and their meeting on a bloody battlefield during the period of Christian-Muslim conflict known as the Crusades....

(All day)

Location: 

77 Sherman St, Hartford, CT 06105, USA
African Americans have a unique story in the United States.
