Eight hundred years ago, a simple Christian friar and a mighty Muslim leader met on the bloody battlefield of the Crusades. What happened next changed world history. 'The Sultan and the Saint' tells one of the great, lost stories from history set during the brutal times of the Crusades.Two men of faith, one a Christian preacher, the other the ruler of a Muslim Kingdom, bucked a century of war and distrust in a search for peace. It is the true story of Francis of Assisi (Alexander McPherson) and the Sultan (Zack Beyer) of Egypt, and their meeting on a battlefield, when one of the largest Crusader armies ever assembled tried to conquer Egypt. Francis undertook one of the bravest risks in the history of peace making by crossing enemy lines to meet with the Sultan of a supposedly cruel and Satanic enemy.Yet this meeting between these two very different men, at a crossroads moment, changed the course of history. This is a multi-award winning and Emmy nominated film.
