We are so proud of Mahmood’s efforts and success at peacemaking through art. This is the true Franciscan tradition.
Mahmood discussed Benedictus at three venues in Washington at the end of March. To think that he started Benedictus here at Siena and how it’s toured the country and finished its American tour in a Jewish theatre in Washington with the Iranian Ambassador in attendance, just at the time when we are making initiatives toward peace. At the beginning of April he screened his film on the Iranian Diaspora (he did it here, too) at Berkeley.
We’re going to miss him when he’s in Tel Aviv on sabbatical!
