Shadow of God on Earth, The

• 1977 ----- color ----- 56 min ----- 16mm
• Unveils the inner meaning and spell of Islam which, for thirteen hundred years, has--more than any other single factor--shaped the course of Asian history. Examines Islam on two levels: by tracing the initial conquests of the Arab armies, and why they enjoyed such rapid success; and by looking at the nature of Islam today, through the life of a Muslim and his family. Mohammed Hasan Biyuki, or as he is called by his peers, "Rezvan," is directing 250 craftsmen in the restoration of the holy shrine of the Imman Reza in the city of Meshed, in north-east Iran. Through his eyes we view the past, the present and the future of his faith.
• Topics: (Art: History, Middle Eastern Studies, Religions: Islamic)
