It is a powerful historical docudrama set during the Crusades. It tells the remarkable true story of Saint Francis of Assisi, who bravely crossed enemy lines to meet Sultan Muhammad Al-Kamil of Egypt. Their courageous encounter fostered mutual respect and planted the seeds of peace between Muslims and Christians in a time of brutal conflict.
