Thank you the support! I hope everyone will get a chance to see the film.
The title in the email that Harvard sent out was a working title and the final title is now:
AN ISLAMIC CONSCIENCE: the Aga Khan and the Ismailis
It can get confusing but there will be different broadcasters who will re-name the documentary to fit their channel. For example the broadcaster in Canada has chosen to call the same film: AGA KHAN: A VOICE OF REASON.

Shunail – we were just changing servers – the website is up again
Rosie – the screening went much better than expected and the turn out was excellent with many people from many diverse backgrounds! Many people were even standing cause we ran out of seats!
Once I get the photo’s from Harvard’s staff photographer, I will post them up.

Shamir,
Do you have plans to make the transcripts of the panel discussion available or post the the entire program on the much awaited web site.
What about making a DVD available for purchase once the documentary has been televised.
