The Imam and the Pastor
Launch: November 2006 at the United Nations, New York

In the last five years thousands of lives have been lost in northern Nigeria as a result of conflict between Christians and Muslims. The Nigerian interfaith team of Imam Muhammad Ashafa and the Reverend James Wuye are working to help bring peace to this stricken region. In February 2005 FLT Films hired Cloudburst Media Director Philip Carr to film a landmark peace ceremony between the Christian and Muslim communities in Yelwa Shendam. He traveled with the interfaith team and was the only white media person present to record the hectic peace ceremony of 10,000 Nigerians who had been in conflict only nine months before.
