ABRAHAM’S CHILDREN is an adventure road-movie in the footsteps of prophets, mystics, visionaries and peacemakers. Journeying from the ancient deserts of the Middle East through Medieval Spain and Morocco, and from North America into Israel and Palestine, this personal quest was undertaken to rediscover the rich legacy of tolerance and harmony that united the Jewish and Muslim peoples for countless centuries. Along the way we uncover profound traces of this unity, and we meet compelling figures who today work to restore the bridges between these two communities. Collectively, their voices assert that for peace to be achieved, both the Jews and the Muslims must remember their roots as being one and the same, tracing back to their common forefather Abraham. Ultimately, the voice in this film suggest that if humanity is to find peace, there cannot be any peoples excluded from this sacred promise.

Your Tears
Rasulallah,
the crown of perfection
The real one among a million pretenders
Accomplished what every world leader wants
Without any contrivance of the politics of power
He said only: Release yourself from your imagination
There is only one source to life, one path, one goal.
And he did it with a robe, a staff, and La ilaha Illallah
no spin alley, no lights, no entourage, no pulpit Continue Reading »

The fabulous final scene of Pudovkin’s 1929 quasi-documentary epic masterpiece “Storm Over Asia,” about the clash between traditional life and modernization. The final 3 minutes of the film (beginning at 3 minutes on this video clip) is an unforgettable and stunning example of Russian montage, showing truely expressive style and a brilliant, powerful use of the medium. May God bless his soul.
