Synopsis: ‘Rumi, The Wings of Love’ takes viewers into a secret world rarely seen by outsiders. Eight centuries after his death, Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, Sufi master and mystical poet is ever present in the whirling ceremony of today’s Mevlevi dervishes. This unique footage set to Mevlevi music is enhanced by interviews with Sheikh Abu Bakr Siraj ad-Din (Martin Lings), Islamic philosopher and author Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Nubian musician Hamza Al Din, as well as many others who speak of sufism, life, and the hidden meaning of the ney, or reed flute.
