From Producer Shamir Allibhai’s blog
The crowd was mainly Ismaili students from York but there was still a sizeable number of adults who must have commuted to see the film/Q+A. Dr Zukfikar Hirji, author of the Institute of Ismaili Studies’ book the Illustrated History of the Ismailis moderated the Q+A and he fielded many questions such as ‘what was the toughest part of my journey’, ‘how was it to interview the Aga Khan’ and ‘when is part 2 and part 3 coming out?

From the source blog: Comments from the Toronto Screening Organizer:
It was incredible to see the amount of discussion and dialogue that the film sparked, because not only were we bouncing off ideas that were brought up in the film by various academics and members of the Ismaili community, but these ideas branched off into even more interesting discussions. It was then that I realized how powerful a medium film could be in creating awareness about a unique Muslim leader and his community, something that has not been tapped into until this documentary was made.

Thoughts from a Toronto-screening audience member
I then bought the DVDs and watched it with an ‘outside-the-box’ mindset and taking my being as an Ismaili identity out of my thoughts. I then realized that this documentary was made with intent to create dialogue and discussions. It tries to show how one of the sects of Islam is and how it has positioned itself. The facts are shared and stated. It is up to the viewers to delve deep, engage with it, and search for more knowledge.
