The film is the Arabic version of the internationally-acclaimed story of Imam Muhammad Ashafa and Pastor James Wuye, today religious leaders who were also leaders of opposing militias that pitted Christians against Muslims in Kaduna region, Nigeria. Imam Ashafa lost close family members in the fighting, and Pastor Wuye lost his hand. Now they work together to promote peace and reconciliation in local communities across Nigeria through the Interfaith Mediation Center they founded. Their story was made, by the FLT-films foundation, into a stirring 39-minute award-winning documentary called The Imam and the Pastor, which was premiered at the UN Headquarters in New York in 2003, then dubbed into French and German and Arabic.
