Summary: Eight hundred years ago, Francis of Assisi and the Sultan of Egypt met on the bloody battlefields of the Crusades. Based on new research and scholarship about that fateful meeting, the film tells one of the great, lost stories from history as two men of faith fought against a century of war and distrust in a search for mutual respect and common ground.
