His Highness the Aga Khan is the spiritual leader of the Ismaili Muslims, an oft-persecuted minority within Islam. At a time when the Muslim world is increasingly at odds with itself and the West, the Aga Khan represents a rare voice of moderation, speaking up for pluralism and diversity, supporting charities, hospitals and schools all over the developing world, and working tirelessly to promote dialogue between civilizations. This hour-long documentary reveals the history of the Ismailis, chronicles the Aga Khan’s rise to power half a century ago, and examines his ongoing struggle to maintain the delicate balance between tradition and modernity.
