From America Magazine-A moment in time that has been captured in art has now been captured on film and could hold a powerful lesson for us today.
The encounter in 1219 between St. Francis of Assisi and Malek al-Kamil, the sultan of Egypt, during yet another flashpoint in the long history of the Crusades -- the subject of one famous fresco in Assisi, Italy -- has been made into a documentary. "The Sultan and the Saint" will get its nationwide premiere Dec. 26 on PBS (check local listings for dates and times).
Not surprisingly, members of the order St. Francis founded participated in the documentary's making.
