Sufi Soul: The Mystic Music Of Islam (2005)

Sufi Soul: The Mystic Music Of Islam is a 2005 documentary directed by Simon Broughton. It documents the many musical subcultures of Sufism as it was incorporated by different cultures in different regions. With many comparisons to Christianity, it displays how with all religions there are zealots and passivists, and the Sufi's of Islam are passivists who focus primarily on music as a spiritual expression, much like the Christian troubadour or modern Christian Rock churches. (NOTE: The English subtitles, when needed, are burned into the video, so no need for a separate subtitle file.)
