The story is set in the 12th century in Arab-ruled Spanish province Andalusia, where famed philosopher Averroes is appointed grand judge by the caliph and his liberal court judgements are not liked by everyone. The caliph's political rivals, centered around the leader of a fanatical Islamic sect, force the caliph to send Averroes into exile, but his ideas keep on living thanks to his students. (imdb)

A beautifully shot and fascinating film that explores the meaning of knowledge, faith, and legacy; especially in the face of radicalism. The film highlights the flaws of righteous thinking but with a polite jeer that seeks to tackle ideas rather than condemn people. While the narrative does take obvious liberties with historical accuracy, it does not try to apply grandiose aggrandization and tells its narrative through subdued, down to earth dialog and writing that imparts genuine wisdom.
