Islam-Empire of Faith
|
| | |
Features: DVD, Widescreen
Between the fall of Rome and the European voyages of discovery, no event was more significant than the rise of Islam. This three-part series tells the spectacular story of the great sweep of Islamic power and faith during its first 1,000 years--from the birth of the prophet Muhammad to the peak of the Ottoman Empire under the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent.
Editor's Note
Academy Award-winner Ben Kingsley narrates ISLAM: EMPIRE OF FAITH, a PBS documentary about the political and cultural history of one of the world's greatest religions. Taking root as the Roman Empire collapsed, Islam quickly earned its place as an imperial force lasting for more than 1000 years from the birth of the prophet Muhammad to the flowering of the Ottoman Empire and beyond. Utilizing dramatic reenactments, scholarly interviews, and rare Islamic art and architecture, Islam is explained in the greater context of world history to demonstrate its far-reaching influence and importance.
