Synopsis:
Does an 800 year-old Sufi mystic hold the key to world peace? “RUMI RETURNING: The Triumph of Divine Passion” tells the story of a Muslim child in the 13th century, who fled his home in Afghanistan as a refugee of war, to later become one of the planet's great voices for universal love and tolerance. Filmed in Konya, Turkey, where Rumi lived much of his life, amidst Turkey's majestic mosques, churches and ruins, it highlights the dance of prayer of the Whirling Dervishes Rumi inspired and explores why a line from his best-selling poetry should be our world’s motto post 9-11. This epic biography, seen on PBS, is known for the beauty of its images, Sufi music and sublime Persian poetry. Commentary by Coleman Barks and Andrew Harvey.
