"The Song of the Reed" by Rumi

In this documentary we explore the annual pilgrimage of "Ziyara Bogal", performed by the Tijaniyya Sufi-brotherhood.It presents an image of Islam that isn't perhaps what most people are used to, and how diverse a religious tradition can be.I would like to thank everyone that helped me along the way, and the wonderful people of Bogal for welcoming me. A very special thanks to Sait Mbai and Abdulrahman Barry.Written, shot and presented by Filip HolmEdited by Filip Holm and Aiat AlmansourLet's Talk Religion facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/letstalkreligionchannel/ Learn more about your ad choices.
