Desc: The Sultan and the Saint: Directed by Alexander Kronemer. With Zack Beyer, Jeremy Irons, Alexander McPherson, Patrick Boyer. Two men of faith, one a traveling Christian preacher, the other the ruler of a Muslim Empire, bucked a century of war, distrust, and insidious propaganda in a search for mutual respect and common ground.
