Gandhi said at one time when he was being attacked in his ashram by an angry crowd of young men, he stopped and he said, Stop this nonsense. Stop this anger. I am a Hindu, I am a Muslim, I am a Christian, I am a Buddhist, I am a Jew, and so are all of you. If we can, we must learn how to tear down the walls that surround us, and before we can do that, we must tear down the walls in our hearts...Unless we can get distribution in those parts of the world where there are walls, we will have failed. We are not going to fail. We are going to see this film in every major institution, every major city, every Imax screen around the world. We are going to do what we can to tear down those walls, that¹s why we are here

Written by Alan Parker, "Nosey Parker", blog.canoe.ca/parker:

"I came away from Journey To Mecca not only bedazzled but feeling immensely, almost universally serene. I know that sounds like pompous claptrap, but it's the closest I can come to describing the feeling the film left me with. Whether you're Muslim or not, I defy you to see Journey To Mecca and not be deeply, metaphysically touched by the beauty and ultimate serenity of the film."
