Global Spirit

Jim Lindeloff, Andy Schipsikowiak, Alexander Sekretaryov and Naoko Nanjo came from the US, Britain, the Soviet Union and Japan. They died in Afghanistan. Using the dead men's material, talking to their families and with the help of original footage shot behind the battle lines, directors Stephen Olsson and Scott Andrews , tell the harrowing story of four journalists, intent on exposing war for what it is, and dying in the attempt.

SOUND OF THE SOUL is a compelling portrait of an Arab country where Muslims, Christians, and Jews have lived together in relative peace for centuries. Beautifully photographed during the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music, the film presents unforgettable performances from groups from Morocco, Ireland, Russia, Afghanistan, Mauritania, the USA, Portugal and France, which carry viewers into what the film's Moroccan sufi guide calls "the hearing of the heart": the essential Oneness at the core of all religions and faiths.
