FILM: THE COLOUR OF PARADISE
Introduction by TJ Winter (Abdul Hakim Murad). Thursday 4th December, 7.30pm, Faculty of Divinity, Runcie Room, West Road, Cambridge.

Directed by Majid Majidi, this moving Iranian film tells the story of a blind boy, Mohammad, whose inability to see the beauty of creation only enhances his ability to feel its powerful forces. He "reads" the flowers, creek beds and woodpecker songs as he tries to understand the world - and the God who made him this way.
